Loviisa’s main components, such as the reactor pressure vessel, steam generators, main piping and turbogenerators are part of the original Russian delivery.
The load factor of Loviisa 1 was 92.1% and that of Loviisa 2 was 89.0%.

 Compliance of Loviisa NPP with Decision (395/1991)
The most important components of the primary circuit of the Loviisa 1 and 2 units are the reactor pressure vessel, pressurizer, main circulation pipings, primary collector and heat transfer pipings of the steam generators, reactor coolant pumps, main isolation valves and those pipings which have a direct connection to the reactor pressure vessel.
After the three year operation of the Loviisa 1 unit it was noted, based on the examinations of material samples irradiated inside the pressure vessel that the material properties of the circular weld joint at the level of the reactor core weakened faster than anticipated.
The brittle weld joint of the Loviisa 1 reactor pressure vessel was heat-treated during the 1996 annual outage for improving the ductility properties of the welding material.

The other level 1 event occurred at Loviisa 1 during the refuelling outage in 2000 when recurrent line-up errors (in filling the suction line of the draining pump in the fuel pond cooling system) caused reactor pool water leakages onto the floor of the steam generator compartment.
The dummy elements installed on the periphery of the core in Loviisa 1 and 2 were preserved to minimise irradiation embrittlement of the reactor pressure vessel.
The Loviisa reactors are equipped with ice-conderser containments, which are relatively large in size (comparable to the volume of typical large dry containments) but have a low design pressure of 0.17 MPa.

 Bastion Ungern, Page I
The area of Degerby (which was named Loviisa later on) was chosen initially in 1745 as a site to build a border fortification.
However the plan for a border fortification was agreed to be a good one in the area of Degerby (Loviisa), due to the favorable terrain.
In the war from 1788 to 1790, the battles were not fought in the Loviisa area and when the imperial Russia finally was the attacking side in 1808, the commander of Loviisa, Colonel Lieutenant Munck gave up the fortifications without any fight, in the fear that the city would suffer damage.

The locomotive was moved to Loviisa City Museum property and was set up as a monument in Loviisa's town center.
LWR #6 is technically very similar to the Museum Railway's operable Hyvinkää-Karkkila #5; moreover, spare parts for a Finnish-made locomotive are easier to come by than they would be for some of the other foreign-made locomotives in the Museum, due to the ready availability of parts from stockpiled broad-gauge VR steam locomotives.
However, after negotiations with the city of Loviisa, the locomotive was donated in its entirety to the Association, and negotiations with the Ministry of Transport and Communications for funding to support the restoration effort came to a favorable conclusion in time for the substantial renovation of LWR #6 to begin in the fall of 1996.

The Loviisa plant is one of two nuclear power facilities in Finland, each with two power units.
The Loviisa plant's unit number one, where the incidents happened, has been at a standstill since July because of annual safety checks and the closure will now be prolonged slightly, the STUK official said.
