> The Swedish government (of which the green party is part) has closed down several nuclear reactors
Only Barsebäck 1 in 1999, Barsebäck 2 in 2005, and that was primarily because of Danish pressure (it's very close to Copenhagen). So that's 15-20 years ago.
The other reactors (Ringhals 1 (2020), Ringhals 2 (2019), Oskarshamn 1 (2017), Oskarshamn 2 (2015)) have been shut down by the private companies operating them because they have either reached their operational lifetime and were deemed (by the private company (Vattenfall, Uniper/Eon)) not economically feasible for modernization, or just plain not profitable to keep running, due to low electricity prices.
