About Leadcold
Blykalla AB, doing business as Leadcold, is a Swedish deep tech company that develops and markets small modular reactors (SMRs). The company is developing a lead-cooled and very compact reactor concept called SEALER-55, which is characterized by a high level of passive safety. Each unit will have 55 MW of electrical capacity, and the capacity can be increased over time by installing multiple units at the same site. The units will be mass-produced in a factory, which will enable higher quality, lower cost, and lower investment risk. The first commercial reactor is expected to be ready for operation in 2030.
