Country report

A lot of ongoing discussions regarding nuclear power and its role in terms of climate control have taken place recently. Public debate seems to be shifting from back-end to front-end issues.

At OKG (Oskarshamns Kraftgrupp AB), a decision to uprate Unit 2 by 2011 has been taken (along with the already planned uprate of Unit 3).
