The third generation pressurized water reactor Olkiluoto 3 in Finland becomes reality
Description
The European Pressurized Water Reactor (EPR) is the world's first third-generation pressurized water reactor (PWR). The first steps towards realization of an EPR nuclear power plant were taken in Olkiluoto, Finland, in 2004 by preliminary works on the construction site. The first concrete will be poured after the construction licence has been granted by the Finnish government which is anticipated to happen in the beginning of 2005. Commerical operation is scheduled to start in 2009. (orig.)
