Sweden passes passes law to fund new generation of nuclear reactors
(www.reuters.com)
The government plans four large-scale reactors - with installed capacity of around 5,000 MW - or the equivalent in small, modular reactors (SMRs). Half of those should be on-stream by 2035.
Officials did not say how much the new programme would cost or how this would be shared among consumers.
State-owned Vattenfall has the most advanced plans for new reactors but has said it will not take an investment decision until the end of the decade.
So they don't know any details yet on what they want to build or how they want to pay for it but somehow want to build them twice as fast as optimistic estimates based on existing projects in other countries? Four times if you count that "end of the decade" statement as the earliest start.
