Startup of Finnish nuclear reactor is extended to 2014
The startup of the Olkiluoto nuclear plant's Unit 3 reactor in Finland will be delayed to 2014, Finnish utility TVO said. A number of factors have affected the startup schedule for the reactor, which was initially expected to come online in 2009. "There has been slower-than-estimated progress in installing pipelines and electricity systems, they have taken more time than was previously estimated, but clearly the automation is the main issue," said Anna Lehtiranta, a spokeswoman for TVO.
