    On the contrary it will be very expensive for the tax payers and only pay off if the energy price is above some certain price, which it probably wont since renewable energy has given Sweden negative energy prices recently, and most certainly will continue to do. And if that’s the case, the state has to pay the reactor owner the difference instead.

      All correct. The profit being earned is by the companies building the reactors - not tax/rate payers.
