Life at our nuclear power plants
Our culture is built on collaboration and personal growth. Employees describe an environment where teamwork and knowledge-sharing are central - and where colleagues support each other through everyday tasks and complex challenges. Respect for different skills and experiences is key, and safety is always the top priority. As our colleague Eddie puts it: “The atmosphere here is fantastic. The moment you step through the gates and meet your first colleagues of the day, the energy is high and the mood is great.” (Video in Swedish)
