Nuclear ban lifted

摘要

The Swedish Parliament on June 18 narrowly approved a government proposal to allow nuclear plants to be built in the country, reversing a ban that has been in place since 1980. After 10 hours of debate, lawmakers approved lifting the moratorium in a 174 to 172 vote. Three MPs were absent.rnUnder new law, reactors can only be built to replace Sweden's 10 operating units and only on the three plant sites where the units are located.
