Sweden plans to lift its 2018 ban on uranium mining as part of efforts to support nuclear power and enhance energy security. The government will seek public input until March 20, 2025, and aims to implement new legislation by January 1, 2026. Uranium would be regulated under the Swedish Minerals Act as a concession mineral. Sweden's government strongly backs nuclear energy, which currently supplies about 29% of the country's electricity.
