<br/>The Swedish parliament has approved the replacement of nuclear reactors, marking a change to previous policy towards nuclear power. <br/> <br/>The plan, proposed by the government, passed by 174 votes to 172. In 1980, a Swedish referendum decided to phase out its reactors by 2010, although the target was later abandoned. <br/> <br/>Sweden's 10 reactors, at three power stations, supply about half of the country's electricity. <br/> <br/>The plan allows for new reactors to be built at the same site as the country's existing plants, but forbids the approval of new sites. The number of reactors is not allowed to exceed 10. <br/>
