According to the Act on Nuclear Activities, nuclear installations such as power and research reactors, facilities for production, the use and storage of nuclear material, and acquisition and transfer of nuclear material in Sweden or abroad by a Swedish entity require license.

Storage

The nuclear industry s very existence is dependent on hidden public subsidies costs borne by society in the event of nuclear disaster, as well as the costs of the still unmanaged disposal of nuclear waste.
