Support for new nuclear power is still unusually high among Swedes. Six out of ten can think of more reactors. Only one out of ten wants to dismantle, according to a new measurement from the nuclear industry.

In the wake of rising electricity prices, an increasing political nuclear debate, Swedes have become more positive towards nuclear power.

Six out of ten want the current nuclear reactors to remain and can also think of new ones being built. Another one out of four wants to keep the current reactors but not build any new ones, according to Analysgruppen, which is funded by the Swedish nuclear power plants.

Analysgruppen, consisting of a range of researchers and experts on nuclear technology, has allowed Novus to ask the same questions to Swedes for almost 20 years to gauge the opinion. The support for nuclear power has plateaued over the past two years. Around 2018, only three out of ten Swedes wanted to see the construction of more reactors in Sweden.

The most positive are men and people who sympathize with the Tidö parties.

One out of ten wants to dismantle nuclear power completely, unchanged compared to the past two years, but clearly lower than the earlier average for the 2000s, around two out of ten.

It looks roughly the same in other countries, according to Mattias Lantz.
