Description

Imatran Voima Oy (IVO), a state-owned power company, operates two pressurized water reactor units in Loviisa on the southern coast of Finland. The units are identical, having VVER-440-type reactors with six horizontal steam generators and a turbogenerator plant with two 235-MW turbogenerators. The main components of the plant were delivered by the Soviet organization Atomenergoexport, while Finnish suppliers delivered several pieces of auxiliary equipment and the primary circulation pumps. Loviisa 1 started its commercial operation in 1977 and Loviisa 2 in 1980. The load factors of both units have been remarkably high, averaging 87.5% during the last 5 yr, despite a 12-month fuel cycle
