The aim with this project has been to make advancements in the possibilities of
how to model farms and interaction of farms. In addition, the aim was to increase
knowledge about limitations in different modeling methodologies. With better
possibilities to assess these interactions more optimized placement of wind
turbines and operations can be achieved.

New method for investigating concrete structures in nuclear power plants
Nuclear power, which accounts for about 30% of Sweden's electricity production, plays a crucial role in delivering fossil-free electricity. As many nuclear power plants are approaching the end of their planned lifetime, it is crucial to extend their operating periods to meet current and future needs. Markus Nilsson at Lund University has spent four years investigating how non-linear ultrasonic methods can be used to detect and assess corrosion in concrete-embedded containment liners in nuclear power plants. The work has resulted in a doctoral thesis.
"Lifetime extension of nuclear power needs more focus"
The Life After 60 – Long Term Operation of Nuclear Power conference, hosted by Energiforsk last week, was fully booked. The importance of lifetime extension, the need for competence, and why green politicians acknowledge the necessity of nuclear power were three key topics that resonated throughout the event.

Pump course in the Netherlands strengthened the Nordic nuclear power competence
– I appreciate that we were given the opportunity via Energiforsk to design a course that suited our purposes and hope more colleagues will have the opportunity to take it, says Lena Skoglund.
