Description

On the 17. June 2010, the Swedish parliament passed a law allowing the today's 10 operating reactors to be replaced by new ones at the end of their operational life. These 10 reactors generate half the electrical power of Sweden. The opposition has announced that they will reconsider this law if they win next election. This law will come into effect on the first January 2011. (A.C.)
