Will they also build a new nuclear waste repository then or are they just going to dump the radioactive waste into the Baltic Sea?
Besides: Are they going to buy Uranium from Russia as the US are doing for their reactors?

Sweden has been anti-nuclear for several decades, and one of the laws that has been passed is to forbid Uranium extraction, even though Sweden has quite a bit in its soil.
So if this development is any sign, maybe they'll do away with that silly law as well and make it so Sweden doesn't have to buy it from someone else?
Also, Russia isn't the largest exporter of Uranium.
„Russia is a significant supplier of both uranium and uranium enrichment services. According to the latest available data, the European Union purchased about 20 percent of its natural uranium and 26 percent of its enrichment services from Russia in 2020. The United States imported about 14 percent of its uranium and 28 percent of all enrichment services from Russia in 2021.“
