OL3 is an EPR (European Pressurized Water Reactor) plant unit with a net electrical output of approximately 1,600 MW. OL3 includes modern proven technology and advanced new safety features.

The Olkiluoto plant consists of two boiling water reactors (BWRs), each with a capacity of 890 MW, and one EPR type reactor (unit 3) with a capacity of 1,600 MW. [1] This makes unit 3 currently the most powerful nuclear power plant unit in …

Because of the need for increase in both self-suficien-cy and additional capacity of electricity production, TVO is currently building a third power plant unit, Olkiluoto 3 (OL3). With the electrical output of approximately 1,600 MWe, OL3 will almost double the production capacity of the Olkiluoto power plant.

2023年4月15日 · Finland's much-delayed Olkiluoto 3 (OL3) nuclear reactor, Europe's largest, began regular output early on Sunday, its operator said, boosting energy security in a region to which Russia has cut...

2023年4月16日 · Finland’s much-delayed and costly new nuclear reactor has completed a test phase lasting more than a year and has started regular output. It has significantly boosted the Nordic country’s electricity self-sufficiency. The Olkiluoto 3 reactor has 1,600-megawatt capacity and is Europe’s most powerful by production capacity.

OL3 boasts a reactor capacity ca. 1% higher and an electric capacity ca. 10% higher than the plant units most recently commissioned in Europe. Another strength of OL3 is the consideration of the most serious accident, reactor core melting and a jet aircraft crashes already in design, and the securing of the digital instrumentation

2022年1月18日 · Scheduled to start commercial operations in the first half of 2022, Olkiluoto 3 (OL3) will be Finland’s first new nuclear reactor to come online in four decades. With a net power output of 1.6GW, OL3 will be the biggest nuclear reactor in Europe and the first European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) to be commissioned in the continent.

2024年9月19日 · Finnish utility Teollisuuden Voima Oyj has today received permission from the country's Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority to bring the Olkiluoto 3 EPR to first criticality and conduct low-power tests. The unit is expected to begin generating electricity at the end of January, with regular electricity production starting in June 2022.

2022年12月9日 · Adding to Finland's anxiety over OL3, neighbouring Sweden, a major electricity exporter, has switched off its Oskarshamn 3 nuclear reactor for maintenance from Dec. 9-18 and its Ringhals 4...
