Why is uranium being discussed in Sweden and the EU today?

Sweden and the European Union are working to strengthen energy security and reduce dependence on imported raw materials from geopolitically uncertain regions.

Nuclear power plays a role in the climate transition by providing dispatchable, low-emission electricity. This includes questions around access to critical raw materials.

Any decisions regarding uranium extraction in Sweden are fully regulated by Swedish legislation and authorities.
