Just to be clear what this means and what it does not mean: It means that nuclear power can count towards Sweden's goal towards fossil-free electricity. It does not mean anyone is actually building nuclear plants, or that anyone would want to pay for it. (The article mentions plans from Vattenfall to build SMRs, but well, SMRs don't exist yet, and as far as I could see, the only thing they did yet is perform a feasibility study.)
And then there's this:

Danish company Ørsted wants to build offshore wind farms that could power half of sweden. Ørsted is a fascinating company, it is basically the only former oil and gas company that successfully transitioned towards clean energy.
Between Vattenfall having announced that they might build a type of nuclear plant that has never been built before, and Ørsted wanting to build massive offshore wind farms, I know which one I think is more plausible.
