Evening Lecture – Removal of the nuclear tax: Swedish nuclear industry is ready for Round 2

In June 2016 an historical political agreement was made in Sweden, which put an end to 40 years of nuclear power debate. Five political parties, representing a Governmental majority, signed a framework agreement allowing a removal of the nuclear tax that could have led to the closure of all nuclear plants in Sweden. Nevertheless, four out of ten reactors had to close down before the tax was removed. Is long term operation now secured for the remaining six units? Threats are emerging around the corner.
