The largest nuclear power unit in Europe, the 3rd reactor of the Olkiluoto Island Nuclear Power Plant in Finland, officially entered daily operation early on the 16th. According to Reuters, the installed capacity of this nuclear reactor is 1600 MW, which is the first new nuclear power unit operated in Finland in more than 40 years and the first nuclear power unit put into operation in Europe in 16 years. According to the website of the American Nuclear Society, according to installed capacity, the No. 3 reactor at the Okiluto Island nuclear power plant is the largest in Europe. Finnish Industrial Power Company, the operator, predicted in a statement on the 16th that after completing the transition from trial operation to daily power output, this nuclear reactor will be operated for at least 60 years to meet about 14% of Finland's power demand, thus reducing Finland's demand for imported power from Sweden and Norway. Yalmo Tanhooa, CEO of the company, said in the statement: "The No. 3 nuclear reactor of the Orkiluoto Island Nuclear Power Plant started to generate electricity, which stabilized the electricity price and played an important role in Finland's green transformation." The nuclear reactor was started in 2005 and initially planned to be put into operation in 2009. Due to multiple technical issues, the delivery of the unit has been delayed. European countries hold different attitudes towards the development of nuclear power. Germany developed a plan to eliminate nuclear power many years ago, while Sweden, France, the UK, and some other countries are planning new nuclear power development. (New News Agency)
