There is no nuclear reactor in Gysinge!
I think the reason the artist was there in 1987 was because that part of Sweden received a lot of radioactive particles from contaminated rain clouds right after the Chernobyl Disaster.
The disaster was in fact discovered by workers at Forsmark, a Swedish nuclear power plant just 90 km east of Gysinge, when they found unusually high levels of radioactive particles in there clothes.
