Uppsala University (www.uu.se) was founded in 1477 and is thereby the oldest university in Sweden. It has presently 38 000 students and 5600 employed, whereof 3600 scientific staff. About 60 % of the turnover is devoted to research and graduate education. Uppsala University is member of ENEN. Two departments have activities of nuclear power relevance.

Department of Neutron Research (INF)

The Department of Neutron Research (INF) has presently nine senior staff members and eleven PhD students. The research is mainly in applied nuclear physics, with activities within fusion neutron diagnostics, as well as neutron nuclear data research for applications within energy technology, nuclear waste incineration, cancer therapy and reliability of electronics.

INF performs undergraduate teaching in engineering physics, with specialization within nuclear power related areas. In addition, INF collaborates with the Swedish Nuclear Training and Safety Centre, insofar that INF provides courses for training of personnel in the Swedish nuclear power industry.

Department of Radiation Sciences (ISV)

The Department of Radiation Sciences (ISV) has a research group working on gamma detection for back-end issues of the nuclear fuel cycle, e.g., tomography of spent nuclear fuel. The group comprises two senior staff members and three PhD students.
