Map of Swedish Nuclear Sites
Sweden has embraced nuclear power as a key component of its energy mix since the 1970s. The country operates six nuclear reactors across three plants: Forsmark, Oskarshamn, and Ringhals. These reactors generate approximately 30-40% of Sweden’s electricity, providing a stable and low-carbon energy source. Sweden’s commitment to sustainability aligns with its reliance on nuclear energy, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Find out where the country’s nuclear sites are located, and what goes on at each of them, on our interactive map of Swedish nuclear sites.
Quick Guide to using the Map of Swedish Nuclear Sites
MAP – Click and drag to move the map around. Hold Ctrl and use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out. Alternatively use the zoom buttons in the top right corner.
POINTS – Points are coloured based on the purpose of the nuclear site.
COUNTER – The counter in the top left displays the number of nuclear sites under each purpose. Clicking on a specific counter lets you see only sites that fall within that category.
POPUPS – Hovering over a specific point on the map will show you a popup containing additional information about the site.
