Fuel loading starts at Finland's long-delayed Olkiluoto-3 nuclear unit

摘要

Fuel loading began March 27 at Finland's Olkiluoto-3 nuclear power reactor, licensee and plant operator Teollisuuden Voima Oy said in a statement that day. Fuel loading will take about a week, TVO said. The 1,600-MW EPR is being built for TVO by Areva and Siemens. The project has been repeatedly delayed and is about 12 years behind its original schedule and three times over its original Eur 3.2 billion ($3.8 billion) budget.
