Case Study: The Disposal Facility in Loviisa and Olkiluoto (Finland)

Creators

Description

Finland has 4 nuclear power units in operation at 2 different sites: Olkiluoto and Loviisa. A fifth unit is under construction at Olkiluoto site. The Finnish waste management policy for LLW and ILW generated by the operation and later decommissioning of NPPs foresees disposal in dedicated repositories located at the NPP sites. The repository at Olkiluoto also accommodates small radioactive waste inventories generated by Finnish healthcare, research and through industrial uses. In the future a separate deep geologic repository for the disposal of SNF is planned at the Olkiluoto site.
