AbstractAbstract
[en] The Swedish Government decision to close down the Barsebaeck-1 NPP resulted in a studi funded by the Organisation of Municipalities with Nuclear Operation (KSO). It was meant to evaluate the scenario if all nuclear reactors in Sweden were closed down by year 2005 or if the phase out took place in an orderly manner after 40 years i.e. between 2012 and 2025. Most important consequence would be the loss of approximately 8000 jobs mostly in five municipalities concerned. This should also be regarded from a qualitative viewpoint, namely as a significant loss of labour opportunities for highly educated personnel. The estimates show in addition, a dramatic increase in migration from nuclear power plant municipalities of particularly younger population. In conclusion it is mentioned that Sweden still has 11 nuclear reactors in operation supplying 50% of the electricity used in the country. If the government would demand immediate closure of all reactors, Sweden would be a dark and cold country at least during the six months of winter
