    From the article:

    The type of reactor is still being decided upon, but Kristersson’s government aims to hit the goal of two new large-scale reactors by 2035.

    No SMRs yet?

        “SMR” just means “small” and implies nothing about the technology used. But the quote specifically mentioned a “large-scale” reactor.

        That said, if Sweden were willing to buy molten salt tech from China, it might happen sooner.
