Through research and development, ANItA\u2019s mission is to generate knowledge-based decision support to efficiently implement small modular reactors and promote a sustainable energy supply in Sweden.<\/h2>\n

ANItA is a collaborative platform consisting of the Swedish and Finnish nuclear industry, the Swedish Academy, and the Swedish Energy Agency.<\/p>\n

ANItA comprises academic and industrial expertise in several relevant areas. By joining forces, these stakeholders have created 14 initial research projects staffed with PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.<\/p>\n

In turn, these young researchers are supervised by the centre\u2019s experts, which enables the creation of a vibrant research environment where both academic and more basic research are combined with industrial engineering and marketing aspects.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the work conducted within ANItA is also an important part of building new competencies<\/a> in Sweden.<\/p>\n

ANItA also serves as a source of knowledge for the surrounding society where the Centre’s expertise can be used by politics, media, and the public to get answers to their questions. This is an important part of ANItA’s business because misconceptions have surrounded nuclear power for so long, making it more difficult to have a rational social discussion about the need for low-carbon, dispatchable electricity production.<\/p>\n
