“We can perform unique high-quality experiments” 

Anders started his career at ASEA-Atom, later ABB Atom (now Westinghouse) where he worked with materials testing projects for most of the 18 years he was employed there. He remembers that Studsvik caught his attention during an expert meeting on cracking in brackets to the emergency core cooling system in Ringhals 1. A few months later he was employed as project manager and today he is one of Studsvik’s senior specialists.   

Can you describe what your role in Studsvik includes? 

“A large part of my work involves structuring and analyzing data from the complex material testing we do in our laboratories.  Mentoring others in the organization is also a very important part of my role as senior specialist, to share and transfer accumulated knowledge is key for a continued safe and efficient nuclear industry. Attending customer meetings and conferences is also a strategy to keep me updated on the current challenges for the industry within my area.” 

Describe something Studsvik has supported a customer with that you are especially proud of. 

“When Studsvik delivered a complete solution for a life extension project to one of our major customers. It included international transportation of reactor vessel internal materials, an extensive testing program and final disposal. The data will support license renewal applications for operation beyond 40 years. The material came to Studsvik in 2013 and the final report is being prepared. This project has been a true team effort.”
