Well, I was right too...

Per capita, Sweden consumes more nuclear energy than any country in the world.[13] Nuclear, along with hydropower, is responsible for most of the electricity generated in Sweden (together they produced 93% of the electricity in 1999).[14] The expansion of the nuclear industry started with the construction of Sweden’s first reactor in 1972. Since then, twelve more reactors have been constructed. No reactors have been constructed since 1985. From 1972 to 1985 the nuclear power industry grew vigorously, but since that period levels of Swedish nuclear power generation have stabilized (at around 208 TWh).[15] In 1997 the Riksdag (parliament) closed one of the oldest reactors and launched a program for the development of ecologically and economically sustainable energies. The future of Nuclear power through 2020 seems to be quite uncertain and dependent on factors such as current waste management and security.[16]
