	TVO - Olkiluoto NPP
		The nuclear power plant of TVO on the west coast of Finland, in the municipality of Eurajoki, on the island of Olkiluoto was built for economical generation of base-load power.
		In the Olkiluoto power plant units electricity is generated by using a nuclear reactor to boil water that circulates in the pipelines.
		Olkiluoto is one the most interesting tourist attractions on the West coast, with ca.

		The reactor pressure vessel is produced in Japan, the steam generators and the pressuriser in France, the condenser in Indonesia, the turbine in Germany and the simulator in Canada.
		The next phase in the Olkiluoto 3 project is the submission of the construction licence application to the Council of State.
		At Olkiluoto, for instance, earthquakes were found to represent 35% of the risk for a serious accident, although the plant is not located in an earthquake area.

	Observer \| Finland goes back to the future
		Well, up to a point, for Olkiluoto is certainly not renowned for its renewable energy but for the fact that Europe's first nuclear reactor for more a decade is being constructed there.
		Over the past year, they have gouged a massive pit beside Olkiluoto's existing two reactors (which have a combined output of 1,700MW each, only marginally more than Olkiluoto 3's) and are now lining that base with a three-metre thick layer of concrete on which the new reactor will sit.
		And, given that all its current plants have at least 25 years' operating life left in them, while Olkiluoto 3 has been built to last 60 years, it is clear that Finland is building a stable, carbon-free power capacity that will last much of the rest of the century.

	eFinland \| Foundation Stone of the Olkiluoto 3 Nuclear Power Plant Unit Laid Today
		Helsinki, 12 September, 2005 — The foundation stone of the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant's third unit was laid today with Mr Paavo Lipponen, Speaker of the Finnish Parliament.
		Of his opinion, the investment decision on Olkiluoto 3 is especially remarkable and nuclear power is an optimal answer to the problems related to emission trade and functioning of the electricity market.
		Also in the future co-operation between all partners is important in the new Olkiluoto 3 project, the biggest ever single industrial investment in Finland.

		The Olkiluoto units were upgraded in 1984 from 660 MW(e) to 710 MW(e) (net capacity).
		The Olkiluoto Power Plant units, on the western coast, owned by Teollisuuden Voima Oy (TVO), were ordered in 1972 and 1974 and started commercial operation in 1979 and 1982.
		The application for a decision-in-principle proposes that the unit be constructed either in Eurajoki, Olkiluoto, or in Loviisa, Hästholmen, near the already operational power plants.

		Currently Finland is in the process of building a new reactor at the Olkiluoto reactor site in addition to a deep waste repository for the storage of spent nuclear fuel.
		Olkiluoto is located on an island to the west of Finland and is run by TVO, a Finnish company wholly owned by Finnish industry.
		On Friday we were given a highly detailed geological breakdown of first the whole of Finland and then the Island of Olkiluoto by a representative from Posiva, a geologist, who was working on the waste repository that is also being constructed on the island.

		Indeed at Olkiluoto construction work has not only started on Olkiluoto 3, Finland’s fifth reactor and the first nuclear reactor in Western Europe in more than a decade, but also on an underground rock characterization facility, ONKALO, designed to conduct studies for the long-term storage of spent fuel.

		This means that the government and parliament thought that it is in principle in the interests of the nation to go forward with plans to bury waste in Finland.
		Olkiluoto was the only location which did not have a antinuclear movement.
		Posiva also claims that Olkiluoto reduces the need for transport of waste, but actually it is planning to ship waste from other nuclear power plant in south of Finland through Finnish archipelago.

	Planet Ark - New Finnish nuclear plant raises hopes and fears
		OLKILUOTO, Finland - One of the world's largest nuclear power plants is under construction in Finland, raising the long dormant atomic power industry's hopes for a revival but evoking fears among opponents of lethal accidents and waste.
		The 3-billion-euro (2-billion-pound) project is the only new nuclear reactor being built in western Europe where nations such as Germany and Finland's neighbour Sweden have decided to phase out their existing atomic power stations.
		Nuclear power produces some 16 percent of world electricity while coal, oil and gas - the fossil fuels whose carbon dioxide emissions are regarded by some scientists as the main global warming culprit - account for two thirds.

	Nuclear Power: Least-Cost Option for Baseload Electricity in Finland
		The Olkiluoto nuclear power plant (NPP), currently with a net output capacity of 1680 MWe, offers a favourable case for financial analysis of actual nuclear power production costs as the generation of electricity was the only activity of the TVO company from the very beginning.
		The maintenance philosophy of Olkiluoto NPP has been to keep the plant in such a condition that the remaining lifetime is still 40 years.
		The electricity generation cost calculated from the historical records of the Olkiluoto NPP amounts to 18 euros/MWh as a constant price during the past operating period of 1981—99.

	Olkiluoto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Olkiluoto is an island located in western Finland in the municipality of Eurajoki.
		Olkiluoto is home to two of Finland's four nuclear power plants, the other two situated in Loviisa, and the first EPR (European Pressurized Reactor) is being built there.
		After the Finnish Nuclear Energy Act was amended in 1994 so that all nuclear waste produced in Finland must be disposed of in Finland, Olkiluoto has been determined to become the site of disposal of Finnish nuclear waste.

	The EPR Becomes Reality at Finland's Olkiluoto 3
		In 1998, the two Finnish nuclear plant operators – TVO and Fortum Power and Heat Oy – came to the conclusion that the growth in the demand for electricity of around 25% predicted to take place in Finland by the year 2015 could best be met by building a new nuclear power plant.
		The project was closely monitored and supported by licensing authorities and independent inspection agencies in both countries to ensure the EPR's licensability in France and Germany.
		Through the Olkiluoto 3 project, the EPR is now being fully licensed for the first time by the Finnish authorities.
