Olkiluoto 3
1,600 MW EPR, the most powerful reactor operating in Europe.
Overview
Ordered in 2003, OL3 finally started regular generation in 2023 after an 18 year saga of delays and litigation between TVO and the Areva Siemens consortium. The unit turned Finland into a net electricity exporter. Nearby Onkalo will host the worlds first permanent deep geological waste repository.
