This workshop was about the current nuclear situation in Finland, about existing and planned facilities and about the resistance and its history. At the moment only few notes of the workshops are documented here. Hopefully there will be more soon.
In Finland two nuclear power plant sites are located in Olkiluoto at the East Coast and Loviisa at the South Coast. Both in distance of between one to some hundred kilometers from Helsinki. Nuclear Power in Finland produced in 2008 22038 GWh electricity (Total Power Production (including Nuclear): 74137 GWh)[1].
The Island of Olkiluoto is owned by the comnpany TVO. The owners of TVO are Pohjolan Voima (ca. 58 %), Fortum (ca. 25 %) and other energy providing and industrial companies. Pohjolan Voima is owned by UPM Kymmene (40 %), Stora Enso (Forrest industry) and others. In Olkiluoto is a final repository for low and medium level radioactive waste situated. The Finnish final disposal site for high level radioactive waste is planned to be located in Olkiluoto, too. Both repositories are in the deep ground of the island by the sea.
The Loviisa NPP site is owned by Fortum, which is a partly state owned company. In Loviisa two VVER reactors are situated: Loviisa I and Loviisa II. In 2008 an application to build a third reactor at this place was submitted by Fortum. The low and medium level radioactive waste of these reactors are final disposed in the deep ground of the site. The high level radioactive waste will be taken to the Olkiluoto site when the final repository is finnished there.
