Government working group: Nuclear waste final repository maybe not big enough

What does this piece of news mean? - It means that someone has bothered to make a press release about the unfinished estimations and investigations of a government committee. It means someone has deliberately chosen the headline with the purpose of saying,

  1. "we'll have to discuss creating more final repositories"
  2. "we'll continue to create more nuclear waste that has to be stored somewhere"

What we also learn is that the plan with Onkalo was never to store all the waste of Olkiluoto, or any other NPP - because, only when they get around to making the tunnels will they know how much space there will be. In other words, Onkalo is just the beginning.

What's also interesting is that the actual purpose of the committee in question is to investigate whether Fennovoima's waste could also fit into Onkalo, not whether the waste of the owners of Onkalo/Posiva could fit.

Thus, alternatively, what this piece of news means is that: because of market competition, any nuclear power company in the same position (commissioning the building of a final repository) would have to do the same thing, i.e.: make public statement / "report" (or say to government committee if/when they make report) saying that "no-one else's waste will fit in, because maybe there won't be space enough for all of our own waste!" If they don't, they are limiting their future perspectives of growth, and "giving in" to their competitors.

Of course, what this piece of news also means is that: At the moment, the climate in the (finnish) public debate is such, that someone can freely do this kind of public media lobbying ("meta-politics"/"meta-market-competition") without anyone caring, commenting, or protesting.


Työryhmä: Ydinjätteen loppusijoitustila ei ehkä riitä
Ydinjätteiden loppusijoitustila ei välttämättä riitä Fortumin ja
Teollisuuden Voiman jätteille, arvioi työ- ja elinkeinoministeriön
työryhmä. Vasta tunnelien louhintavaiheessa selviää, kuinka paljon
kalliolohkoon mahtuu käytettyä ydinpolttoainetta.

Työryhmä selvittää mahdollisuuksia sijoittaa Olkiluotoon myös
Fennovoiman ydinjäte. Onkalon omistaa Posiva, jonka takana ovat
Fortum ja Teollisuuden Voima.
