Ann: Sweden initiates inquiry to overturn uranium mining ban, page-43

‘an inquiry to investigate what is required to once again make it possible to extract uranium in Sweden. The investigation must be reported by mid-May at the latest’.No specific date. Just Mid-May.

There are a couple of other relevant (imo) initiatives underway atm:

1. Ebba Busch - Sweden is and will continue to be a leading technology nation. With long-term investments in research and development, in cooperation with business, Sweden can secure new jobs in the industries of the future. Vinnova is now tasked with leading a process to identify and propose strategically important technologies for Sweden to invest in.2. The legislation is tricky. It is a complex process to go from prospecting, i.e. test drilling, to a mine ready to open. The operation takes decades if not more. However, in its eagerness to enable new nuclear power, the government has taken several steps to facilitate the process. SGU received SEK 34 million in the spring budget last year to shorten the time for exploration and an investigation was added in the same vein to review the rules surrounding the environmental assessment. There are several authorities involved and the possibilities to appeal have so far been good.

we wait…
