Research 2 Development. The 1982 Five-Year Plan

摘要

The power board is owned by the Swedish State and is a commercial utility. It generates about 45 per cent of the electric power generated in the country. Development efforts must be devoted to planning, plant and operation activities. A five year plan for research and development is revised annually. The R and D activities are broken down into five main areas, namely energy conversion technology, new energy technology and efficient energy utilisation, electrotechnology, electrical energy systems, and building and materials technology. The following three major projects are managed and administered independently: Nuclear fuel safety (KBS), the Coal-Health-Environment project (KHM), Solar energy and heat pump. The R and D activities involve about 300 persons each year and the total resources throughout the five-year period amount to SEK 521 million. (ERA citation 08:046592)
