Stockholm - A Swedish prosecutor Monday dropped a probe over an explosives scare that caused the precautionary shut down of a nuclear reactor in May.

A so-called smear test had triggered an alert for an explosive at a spot security check on May 21. Two men, aged 53 and 44, were arrested on suspicion of planning sabotage at the Oskarshamn nuclear plant but were released the following day.
