Ah, in that case it probably won't go ahead. Nuclear is just too risky an investment for pretty much anyone unless you have government guarantees.

With regard to nuclear weapons: most of what the UK produced actually went to the USA rather than its own program. Did Sweden do that, or is that still classified?

Sweden wasn’t (and still isn’t) part of NATO so they were making their own bomb for real.

Basically to the point that they had all the parts needed to assemble one and just needed a law change/approval the government to finish it (would have taken ~6 months of work)
