Vacant job

Company Description

Enabling fossil freedom that drives society forward – that is our purpose. We are on the lookout for talented students who want to help us on our journey towards fossil freedom. By writing a thesis at Vattenfall, you will have a unique opportunity to contribute to our purpose.

About the Role

SKB's mission is to safely manage the radioactive waste from Swedish nuclear power plants. Through our mission, we contribute to fossil-free electricity production and a sustainable society.

The thesis work will be carried out within the Technical Department, which has a company-wide mission to design and develop all of SKB's nuclear facilities.

SKB has instructions and procedures for rock engineering and for the control and maintenance of rock spaces and rock reinforcement. Now that new, large underground facilities are being planned, it would be desirable to introduce LCC thinking in the planning of these. At our existing facilities, the Final Repository for Short-lived Radioactive Waste, SFR, and the Interim Storage Facility for Spent Nuclear Fuel, Clab, LCC analyses could also be used in investment decisions related to maintenance measures.

The purpose of the thesis is to develop proposals on how LCC analyses can be used consistently in SKB's daily operations when planning new facilities and also during maintenance work in existing facilities.

This assignment is for 1 student.

Diversity and Inclusion – in everything we do

SKB's mission is to safely manage the radioactive waste from Swedish nuclear power plants. Through our mission, we contribute to fossil-free electricity production and a sustainable society.

We have just begun the expansion of the Final Repository for Short-lived Radioactive Waste, SFR, and are doing ground preparation work above ground before we can start building the Final Repository for Spent Nuclear Fuel in Forsmark. In a few years, we will also build an Encapsulation Facility next to the Interim Storage Facility for Spent Nuclear Fuel, Clab, in Oskarshamn.

SKB's headquarters is located in Arenastaden in Solna. We also have offices in Oskarshamn and Östhammar, where we have facilities in operation and are preparing for construction projects.
