What type of nuclear technology is Blykalla developing, and where is it planning to build its reactor park?

Blykalla is developing 55-megawatt reactors using an updated version of lead-cooling technology originally developed for Russian nuclear submarines in the 1950s, and it plans to build its reactor park near the city of Gavle.

How much electricity would Blykalla's planned reactor park generate, and when could it start producing power?

Blykalla's planned reactor park would generate around 330 MW of electricity—enough to power 150,000 homes—and could start producing power in the first half of the 2030s.
