Talk:Nuclear power in Sweden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Date wrong?
After the 1986 Chernobyl accident in Ukraine, the question of security of nuclear energy was again called into question. In 1997 the Riksdag, the Swedish parliament, decided to shut down one of the reactors at Barsebäck by July 1, 1998 and the second before July 1, 2001, although under the condition that their energy production would be compensated. The next conservative government tried to cancel the phase-out, but, after protests, did not cancel it but instead decided to extend the time limit to 2010. At Barsebäck, block 1 was shut down on November 30, 1999 and block 2 on June 1, 2005. (My bold)
I think there must be a date wrong in this paragraph (Nuclear power in Sweden#"Fallout" from Chernobyl). There hase been no conservative government in Sweden between 1997 and now, so shouldn't the date for the decision to shut down Barsebäck be dated to 1987? The only conservative government since Chernobyl was 1991-1994, so any date after 1991 doesn't make sense. Tamino 07:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
I've corrected this, as I am essentially sure it is a typo. Tamino 07:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More history would be nice
Although the article is good at covering what it covers, it goes straight to the 1980 referendum. In my opinion, it would be good to have more history of Swedish nuclear power (the beginning of the programme, and the building of the reactors) before share their knowledge?
