Same news, different headline:

Hed: Sweden adopts ‘100% fossil-free’ energy target, easing way for nuclear
"Changing the target to “100% fossil-free” electricity, from “100%
renewable” is key to the government’s plan to meet an expected doubling >> of electricity demand to around 300 TwH by 2040 and reach net zero
emissions by 2045.
“This creates the conditions for nuclear power,” Finance Minister
Elisabeth Svantesson said in parliament. “We need more electricity
production, we need clean electricity and we need a stable energy system.”"
Thanks for affirming what I said.
Speaking of stability:

"In 2020, there were just four conversion plants operating commercially
-- in Canada, China, France, and Russia. Russia was the largest player,
with almost 40 percent of the total uranium conversion infrastructure in
the world, and therefore produced the largest share of uranium in
gaseous form (called uranium hexafluoride).
The same goes for uranium enrichment, the next step in the nuclear
cycle. According to 2018 data (the latest available), that capacity was
spread among a handful of key players, with Russia once again
responsible for the largest share -- about 46 percent."
