Earlier this year, the government appointed a rapid investigation to make uranium mining permitted in Sweden.

Now, plans are moving forward to lift the ban, reports Sveriges Radio Ekot.

*****According to an internal investigation, the government is also open to municipalities not being able to stop smaller mines and mines where uranium is extracted as a by-product, an issue that has been very controversial.****
But what is meant by a smaller mine is not yet fully clear.“It depends on whether the activity is classified as a nuclear activity or not. If it is not classified as a nuclear activity, there will be no need for a special veto procedure for uranium mining,” says Minister of Climate and Environment Romina Pourmokhtari (L) in an interview with the radio.

.Uranium mining was banned by the previous government in 2018.
