Finnish edition Yle Reports Emergency at Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant. The report says that experts discovered a radiation leak, which led to a significant increase in the radiation background in the area where the Finnish nuclear power plant is located. On the exact indicators of radiation background, increased as a result of radiation leakage on Olkiluoto, is not reported.

Radiation emission was noted at Olkiluoto NPP (Finland). Repair work will begin on Monday ...


The head of the Center for Nuclear and Radiation Safety stated that “fears are superfluous, since radiation leaks at nuclear power plants are a periodically occurring phenomenon that does not threaten human health and the environment.” In connection with this remark in Finland itself expressed great doubts about the level of competence in matters of nuclear safety of the head of the said center.

Yle reports that an emergency reactor was tested, as a result of which damage was found to one of the fuel cell cartridges. Causes of damage are not called. The specialists decided to replace three such elements from the used half a thousand in the core.

It is noteworthy that the work to eliminate the cause of accidents is suspended, barely starting. It was announced that the employees who are involved in the fuel cell change have two days off, and they (the employees) will start the main part of the work on Monday 11 of April. The title of the movie “Let's Live Till Monday” in the Finnish case takes on a special shade ...

Presumably, the work will take about a week.

For reference: Olkiluoto NPP is located in the west of Finland - on the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia (Baltic Sea). The total capacity of the power units 1760 MW. The station produces more than 15% of electricity consumed by Finland.

    Either the accident is not worth the trouble, or the decision makers are too European.
    By the way, it was built on a turnkey basis by the Swedish concern ABB using its own technologies.

          If no emergency situation is declared, then the reactor was shut off according to the procedure. And this in turn means that the mechanism for removing fuel elements is functioning.

          No need to invent. The station is now engaged in decontamination. And only after reducing the dangerous level of activity in the reactor hall, specialists will begin repair work. Of course, this is only if it is not a case like Chernobyl.

    Olkiluoto NPP (Fin. Olkiluoto) is located on the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia of the Baltic Sea, on the island of Olkiluoto, which is part of the Eurajoki commune.

    Owned by Teollisuuden Voima Oy (TVO). 43% of TVO's shares are owned by the state (of which 27% is owned by the state-owned company Fortum), and 57% is owned by private companies, mainly heavy industry enterprises.

    Two boiling water reactors (BWR, Boiling Water Reactor) stations produce more than 16% of the electricity consumed in Finland.

    The construction of the nuclear power plant began in early 1974, the second power unit - in September 1975. The station was built on a turnkey basis by the Swedish concern ABB using its own technologies. The first power unit was connected to the national power system in September 1978, the second in February 1980.

    During two reconstructions in 1984 and 1998, the reactor capacity was increased from the original 660 MW to 710 and 840 MW, respectively.

    The first Finnish Loviisa NPP (Fin. Loviisa) is located on the island of Hästholmen (Fin.) Russian, 15 km southeast of the city of Loviisa.

    It belongs to the state company Fortum (until 1998 - IVO).

    Two VVER-440 pressure water reactors (PWR, Pressurised Water Reactor) were manufactured at the Izhora plant, and turbines, generators and other equipment were also manufactured in the Soviet Union. The station was equipped with security systems and management of Western production. The construction part was completed by Finnish companies.

    The first reactor began operation in February 1977, the second in November 1980. As a result of the reconstruction of 1997-2002, the capacity of each reactor was raised from the original 440 MW to 488 MW.


    Now let's see the connection. Rosatom is building a new station. On October 5, 2011, it was announced about the construction site of a new nuclear power plant in Finland: it will be Cape Hanhikivi in ​​the Pyhäjoki municipality of Northern Ostrobothnia province (on the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia, about 100 km south of Oulu). In the media, there are various names for this plant - Pyhäjoki NPP, Hanhikivi NPP, Hanhikivi-1 NPP. It was originally planned that the construction of the station will begin in 2015, the station will be launched in 2020, and its maximum capacity will be 1800 megawatts [2] [3]. Initially, negotiations were held with Areva and Toshiba.

    On July 3, 2013, the Finnish company Fennovoima and CJSC Rusatom Overseas, a subsidiary of the Russian state corporation Rosatom, signed an agreement to develop a project in order to prepare for the signing of a contract for the construction of the station. It is planned that this contract will be signed before the end of 2013 [4] [5]. In September 2014, the Finnish government approved a project to build a nuclear power plant with the participation of Russia. Pendos continue to crap.

    What could be the reason for the damage to the fuel rod? Either corrosion or fusion. There seems to be no third. They probably postponed the work for two days because there was a release of radioactive iodine. It has a half-life of 8 days, in two days the concentration will decrease quite significantly. Perhaps they will postpone it for a few more days. If the fuel rod really melted, then they were very lucky that they managed to drown out the unit.

    And the head of their Center is really crazy.

    In January 2005, the Eurajoki commune issued a building permit, and on February 17, the government made a final decision on the construction.
    Initially, it was expected that the third power unit of the Olkiluoto NPP will be put into commercial operation in 2010, but subsequently the launch dates were postponed to 2013, 2015 and 2018. As of mid-2015, the owner company does not indicate the date of commissioning. The construction cost of this reactor was estimated at 3 billion euros, but subsequently, the contractor Areva estimated the completion of the construction at 8,5 billion euros, almost three times more than the original [1]. As a result, Finland canceled the planned construction of the fourth power unit at Olkiluoto. [2]
