: : Is Sweden a well developed counrty in means of nuclear energy?

: Sweden is for electric production to 50% depending on nuclear power and to 50% on hydroelectric.
: We have 12 reactors, 600 - 1200 MW. Annual production 70 TWh. The reactors were comissioned
: 1970 - 85. They have a high availability about 90%.

: Due to political decisions perhaps one reactor, Barsebäck, might be shut down in 1998. There is no
: decision for the others.

: In 1980 there was a referendum about the nuclear programme of Sweden.

: Today there is a majority of the swedish people who want to have nuclear power.

: Discussions about greenhouse gases seems to be important for this opinion of
: the swedish population.

: We also think it is better to run our reactors with a high security standard instead of importing nuclear power produced in countries like Lithuania or Ukrania using Sovjet type reactors.
