Barsebäck was closed down almost 20 years ago. There is not much to re-use there. There may be something to salvave at Ringhals but not worth it more than for sentinental reasons.
It would be like renovating a 50yo veteran car. Maybe fun for someone but not worth the effort. That was also one of the main reasons it was closed down. It was simply reaching its end of life and required a major overhaul that neither government or owners were willing to invest.

Not sure what Barsebäck or Ringhals are, but one valuable asset of former production sites of any type is their connexion to the grid. Considering many European countries have years of waiting for new production to be connected to the grid, that's not a small benefit.
- fifilura 3y agoThat is true. Barsebäck has a problem though that its closest city is - Copenhagen. The danes were never to fond of having a nuclear power plant that benefited another country close to their capital. Ringhals still has a couple of reactors running, so to can easily be expanded. But Finland had that too but still it took 15 years to build a new reactor.
