Context for the news: Olkiluoto 3 is one of the newest nuclear power plants in Finland and originally it was meant to be complete in 2009. It ran in 2021 for the first time and was fully running in 2022 in its test runs. It was operational in 2023-ish?
It has been a huge money sink with the delays in its constructions and constant malfunctions while running it (no danger thanks to safety regulations). Olkiluoto 3’s delays and malfunctions have decreased the citizens’ interest in nuclear energy tremendeously. When it actually runs properly, it is a noticeable margin on Finland’s energy production.
Doesn’t feel quite “world news” worthy article.
