The company's shares are listed on the [[Nasdaq OMX Stockholm]].<ref>[http://www.studsvik.com/index.php?p=about&s=strategy&t=objectives_and_strategies&afw_lang=en "Studsvik in Brief"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110213034436/http://www.studsvik.com/index.php?p=about&s=strategy&t=objectives_and_strategies&afw_lang=en |date=2011-02-13 }}, studsvik.com.</ref>
Studsvik offers advanced technical services to the international [[nuclear power]] industry in areas including fuel analysis software, waste treatment, [[nuclear decommissioning|decommissioning]], engineering and services, and operating efficiency.
The company was founded in [[Stockholm]] in 1947, as '''AB Atomenergi''', to develop and operate nuclear power stations in Sweden. Originally it was 57% government-owned; during the 1960s, the government acquired the entirety of the shares, but then in the 1970s, government funding was reduced and the company became entirely industry-owned and changed its name to '''Studsvik Energiteknik AB'''.<ref name=History>[http://www.studsvik.com/index.php?p=about&s=history&afw_lang=en "History"]{{Dead link|date=June 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }}, studsvik.com.</ref> Studsvik is the name of the property east of Nyköping, where the business had moved during the 1960s.
In 2005, Studsvik's two research reactors, '''R2''' (50 MW) and '''R2-0''' (1 MW), were decommissioned.<ref name=History/> There was also a third research reactor in Studsvik	called '''FR-0''', which was a zero-power fast reactor with low power output. It was operated 1964–1971 and is now dismantled.
In the 1990s and 2000s, the company acquired the German SINA Industrieservice GmbH; the nuclear power division of the Norwegian Scandpower AS; the German Industrieanlagen Fritz & Marx; the British Environmental Remediation Services Ltd.; the ISS international health physics group; the American RACE LLC; the German Dr Fary GmbH & Co KG and the English Alpha Engineering Ltd.<ref name=History/>
Studsvik has a [[radioactive waste]] processing facility in [[Erwin, Tennessee]] in the US, which opened in 2000. The facility operates in partnership with [[Waste Control Specialists]] in [[Andrews County]], [[Texas]]. With Washington Group Inc., Studsvik co-owns THOR Treatment Technologies, LLC.<ref name=History/> Studsvik also operates a facility in [[Memphis, Tennessee]] on [[President's Island]], which is in the [[Mississippi River]].  In January 2008, Studsvik obtained a licence for a radioactive metal recycling plant near [[Sellafield]] in England.<ref>[http://www.neimagazine.com/story.asp?sectioncode=132&storyCode=2048706 "Studsvik plant quietly gains permission"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110613103350/http://www.neimagazine.com/story.asp?sectioncode=132&storyCode=2048706 |date=2011-06-13 }}, ''Nuclear Engineering International'' 13 February 2008.</ref> Studsvik's metal-recycling facility, designed to assist the [[Nuclear Decommissioning Authority]]'s National [[Low level waste|LLW]] Strategy, opened in September 2009. Decontaminating metallic waste both greatly reduces the quantity of waste requiring to be disposed of at the [[Low Level Waste Repository|LLW Repository]], and recovers valuable metal.<ref>[http://www.studsvik.com/files/Studsvik_help_Nuclear_Clean_Up.pdf "Studsvik help nuclear clean up with a 98% reduction in waste volume"]{{Dead link|date=June 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }}, press release, Studsvik UK, 27 October 2009 (pdf)</ref>
Studsvik is the global leader in fuel vendor-independent software for reactor analysis.<ref>[http://www.studsvikscandpower.com/vendor-independence "Vendor Independence"], Studsvik Scandpower.com.</ref> Studsvik software has been used throughout the world for [[light water reactor]] core design, analysis, and operational support.
In April 2011, Studsvik praised defeat of a bill in the US State of [[Tennessee]] legislature that would have prohibited dumping low-level [[nuclear waste]] in landfills. Both of Studsvik's US processing facilities are in Tennessee. Tennessee is one of the few states that allows dumping of low-level nuclear waste in landfills and the only state that allows dumping of nuclear waste on a single-license, rather than seek government approval for each shipment of waste.<ref>[http://www.memphisflyer.com/memphis/nuclear-option/Content?oid=2725964 "Nuclear Option"], ''The Memphis Flyer'' 14 April 2011.</ref>
