The other Barsebaeck unit was shut down 3 days ago for political reasons 
alone. From now and on we only have 11 NPPs (our population is something 
like 8.8 million). This is a cold country -many of us are not happy with the 
winters here (my next vacation will probably be somewhere in the English 
speaking roachbelt late January or so). If temp. drops too much now we may 
have to import electricity from the graphite moderated reactors east of 
Sweden - that has happened before.

Obviously my personal opinions and reflections,
