The case for more nuclear power in Finland

A robust energy mix is a feasible system which is least sensitive to uncertainties and undesirable developments. Increased energy efficiency and more benign energy forms are obviously elements of a preferable energy mix but they alone cannot constitute a robust energy policy. A wide window is left for nuclear fission to contribute towards meeting the world's energy needs before these benign energy technologies will be in place, whatever they turn out to be. Various long-term energy scenarios are discussed for Finland. (author)
