They're offering $37 billion in loan guarantees, which means that if a private party agrees to take the money and build the nuclear power plant but then defaults on the loan (i.e. if they can't sell the power from the plant at the repayment rate, I suppose), then the government is stuck with the whole bill.

Even that apparently won't be enough to bring in the private contractors, however:

> "Guarantees are very important, but that won't be enough," Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson said. "For this type of infrastructure it is going to require the state to take part and share the risk."

I'm not sure what that means, the loan guarantee already seems like quite a risk. Are they going to go for nationalization of the power sector or something like that?
