Summary

short text (1'500 characters max.)

Olkiluoto is the location of one of two operating nuclear power plants in Finland. It is situated on the Western coast of Finland, some 250 kilometers northwest of Helsinki. Also on the site of the NPP is a final disposal site for low and medium level radioactive waste. The Finnish final repository for high level radioactive waste is proposed to be at this location, too.[1] The operator of the Olkiluoto NPP is Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO).

Olkiluoto is an island only separated by a narrow stretch of water from the mainland, connected by a bridge.[10] It is owned by the nuclear industry. Olkiluoto is part of the municipality of Eurajoki, while the next town, Rauma, is part of another municipality[24], located only some 25 kilometers south of the nuclear power plant[10].

Nowadays, the uranium for the Olkiluoto units is supplied under long-term contracts, mainly from Canada and Australia. It is enriched in Russia and the EU. Fuel assemblies delivered to Olkiluoto are made in Germany, Spain and Sweden.[13] The capacities of units 1 and 2 were first increased by 18.3 percent in 1998 to 840 MW each, and reached 860 MW each after another upgrading on June 1st, 2006[25]. The current nominal power level of both units is 880 MW as of 2013[2][5].

The construction of the Olkiluoto-3 reactor by AREVA and Siemens is five years behind schedule and almost 100% above the original budget.[26]

Between 1977 and 2008 a total of 94 incidents of the level INES-1 and a total of 7 incidents of the level INES-2 (INES = International Nuclear Event Scale) had been registered by the Finnish authorities for all nuclear facilities in the country[16]. The published data does not provide detailed information about the accidents and the reactors where they occured.
