Printed by the IAEA in Austria December 1960 PROSPECTS OF NUCLEAR POWER IN FINLAND A Joint Study by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Finnish Atomic Energy Commission TECHNICAL REPORT SERIES No. 2 INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY KARNTNER RING, VIENNA I, AUSTRIA 1960 PROSPECTS OF NUCLEAR POWER IN FINLAND, IAEA, VIENNA, 1960 STl/DOC/lO/2 FOREWORD Nuclear power is one of the most important practical applications of atomic energy and a major function of the Agency is to further its development. It be- came apparent in the Agency's early studies in this field that too often the economics of nuclear power were discussed in general terms and without refer- ence to the multitude of conditions governing each specific power situation, which vary widely from country to country and even within a given country. It was also found that the few specific studies which existed had been carried out in countries where it had already been decided to establish a nuclear power station or even to embark on a full-scale nuclear power program. It was there- fore considered that the prospects of nuclear power throughout the world could be realistically assessed only on the basis of a series of studies of as wide a range of different actual situations as possible. At its fourth regular session, the General Conference of the Agency adopted a resolution calling for the con- tinuation of nuclear power surveys in Member States at their request. The Government of Finland invited the Agency to participate in a study of the prospects of nuclear power in Finland during the next decade. The desire of the Government of Finland was, on the one hand, to benefit from the spe- cialized experience of the Agency, and on the other, to make a contribution to the Agency's program of furthering the development of nuclear power. We fully appreciate the value of this contribution and consider it very important for the Agency's program that this first nuclear power study has been undertaken to- gether with a Member State which has long experience in conventional power planning and has consistently looked at nuclear power within the general context of the problem of meeting her growing power needs. The Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency approved the Agency's participation in the study and work began in March 1960. A joint study group was set up between the Finnish Atomic Energy Commission and the Agency's Secretariat, in co-operation with Imatran Voima Osakeyhtio, the State Power Corporation. The study group was headed by the Chairman of the Finnish Atomic Energy Commission and the Agency designated a member of its technical staff to serve as its representative and as special assistant to the head of the study group. An Agency consultant and other members of the technical divisions concerned with nuclear power activities joined in the group's work when the preparatory stage of the study had been completed. The Agency also con- sulted the Energy Division of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. While the emphasis in this Report naturally falls on problems specific to Finland, the method followed, the factors discussed and some of the data pre- sented have a more general validity and may serve as guides to other Member States, especially those that rely largely on hydro power. It is hoped that this first report will prove of assistance to them in assessing the possibility of in- troducing nuclear power. December 1960 Director General CONTENTS 1.

Conclusions 94 1. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS The utilization of nuclear power for the production of electricity has been under rapid development, especially in the last five years. In some highly industrialized countries of the world nuclear power plants have been developed and built, first for demonstration purposes or as prototypes but more recently as commercial plants with the aim of achieving, at an early stage, economic competitiveness with other available sources of power. At the initial stages in planning a nuclear power programme an analysis of the overall power situation, including the structure of the power production and consumption, is necessary as well as an economic comparison of nuclear and conventional power costs over a foreseeable period of time. In Finland, the main power resource has been, and still is, hydro power. It is clear, however, that the hydro potential is insufficient to cover the in- creasing consumption over a long period of time. Already about one half of this potential has been exploited. Thus the country will necessarily have to consider the utilization of thermal power to an increasingly large extent. There is no indigenous coal or oil. For this reason it has become necessary to investigate realistically the possibilities offered by nuclear power. As it was not possible at the present stage in the rapid development of the technology of power reactors and nuclear fuels to make a long-term prediction concerning the possibilities for establishing a substantial nuclear power pro- gramme in Finland, this joint study concerned itself with a rather narrow field and limited objectives. The aim of the study was to investigate the criteria and conditions under which nuclear power could feasibly be introduced from the technical and economic standpoints into the country's power programme within the decade from 1960 to 1970. It was decided from the beginning to restrict the study to the possibilities of the production of electricity alone in large central plants. The question of small industrial power reactors capable of producing heat as well as electricity has not been studied. Nor has the possibility of in- stalling small power plants in remote areas in the north of the country been investigated. These subjects could well be treated in subsequent studies, should sufficient interest be shown in them and sufficient technical and cost data be- come available. The report begins by reviewing briefly the general energy situation in Finland (Chapter 2) and then proceeds to evaluate the existing energy resources of the country and its energy imports (Chapters 3, 4 and 5). An account of the present electric power situation is given in Chapter 6 while estimates of future power consumption up to 1970 are contained in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 describes the power programme designed to meet the anticipated needs and Chapter 9 is specially devoted to the expected role of thermal power within this programme. In this way a preliminary determination is made of the time when a suffi- ciently large block of thermal power can be economically assigned to base-load duty. This leads to the second part of the report namely to a preliminary com- parison of the costs of conventional and nuclear power at the time when a rela- tively large unit of either type could be operated on base-load. Chapter 10 dis- cusses the possible locations for a base-load nuclear power plant in the system from the viewpoint of optimum load transfer. 9 Chapter 11 proceeds to estimate the probable future costs of hydro power as well as of a thermal conventional plant taking 1960 as a basis and projecting future capital and fuel costs as well as heat rates into the next decade on the basis of explicitly stated assumptions. Chapter 12 gives summary estimates of nuclear power costs for the same tentative dates and endeavours to establish a preliminary generating cost com- parison under different sets of assumptions for fuel costs, load factors and interest rates.

    FINLAND 242 FINLAND FINLAND 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. General Overview Finland (in Finnish Suomi) is a republic in northern Europe, bounded on the north by Norway, on the east by Russia, on the south by the Gulf of Finland and Estonia, on the south-west by the Baltic Sea and on the west by the Gulf of Bothnia and Sweden. Nearly one third of the country lies north of 2 2 the Arctic Circle. The area of Finland, including 31 557 km of inland water, totals 338 000 km . The terrain is generally level, hilly areas are more prominent in the north and mountains are found only in the extreme north-west. The average July temperature in the capital Helsinki on the southern coast is 17 °C. The February average in Helsinki is about -5.7 °C. The corresponding figures at Sodankylä (Lapland) in the northern Finland are 14.1 °C and -13.6 °C. Precipitation (snow and rain) averages about 460 mm in the north and 710 mm in the south. Snow covers the ground for four to five months a year in the south, and about seven months in the north. Finland has a population of 5.16 million (1998) and average population density of 17 per km2 of land. Historical population data is shown in Table 1. The predicted annual population growth rate between the years 1998 and 2010 is 0.21 %. More than two thirds of the population reside in the southern third of the country. In Finland the total primary energy consumption1 per capita was about 60 % higher than the European Union average (according to 1996 statistics) and about 35 % higher than the OECD average.

  • Nuclear Options in Electricity Production-Finnish Experience
    6th International Conference on Nuclear Option in Countries with Small • Dubr°Vr HR0600024 Nuclear Option in Electricity Production - Finnish Experience Antti Piirto TVO Nuclear Services Ltd 27160 Olkiluoto, Finland [email protected] Nuclear energy has played a key role in Finnish electricity production since the beginning of the 1980s. The load factors of nuclear power plants have been high, radioactive emissions low and the price of nuclear electricity competitive. In addition, detailed plans exist for the final disposal of nuclear waste as well as for the financing of final disposal, and the implementation of final disposal has already been started with the authorities regulating nuclear waste management arrangements at all levels. Deregulation of the electricity market has meant increasing trade and co-operation, with both the other Nordic countries and the other EU Member States. In May 2002, the Finnish Parliament approved the application for a decision in principle on the construction of the fifth nuclear power plant unit in Finland. In December 2003, Teollisuuden Voima Oy concluded an agreement for the supply of the new nuclear power plant unit with a consortium formed by the French- German Framatome ANP and the German Siemens. The new unit, which will be built at Olkiluoto, is a pressurised water reactor having a net electrical output of about 1600 MW. The total value of the project is ca. 3 billion Euros, including investments connected with the development of infrastructure and waste management. The objective is to connect the new unit to the national grid in 2009. When in operation, the unit will increase the share of nuclear energy of Finnish electricity consumption, currently some 26%, to a little more than one third, and decrease Finnish carbon dioxide emissions by more than 10%.

  • Waiting for the Nuclear Renaissance: Exploring the Nexus of Expansion and Disposal in Europe
    Risk, Hazards & Crisis in Public Policy www.psocommons.org/rhcpp Vol. 1: Iss. 4, Article 3 (2010) Waiting for the Nuclear Renaissance: Exploring the Nexus of Expansion and Disposal in Europe Robert Darst, University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth Jane I. Dawson, Connecticut College Abstract This article focuses on the growing prospects for a nuclear power renaissance in Europe. While accepting the conventional wisdom that the incipient renaissance is being driven by climate change and energy security concerns, we argue that it would not be possible without the pioneering work of Sweden and Finland in providing a technological and sociopolitical solution to the industry’s longstanding “Achilles’ heel”: the safe, permanent, and locally acceptable disposal of high-level radioactive waste. In this article, we track the long decline and sudden resurgence of nuclear power in Europe, examining the correlation between the fortunes of the industry and the emergence of the Swedish model for addressing the nuclear waste problem. Through an in-depth exploration of the evolution of the siting model initiated in Sweden and adopted and successfully implemented in Finland, we emphasize the importance of transparency, trust, volunteerism, and “nuclear oases”: locations already host to substantial nuclear facilities. Climate change and concerns about energy independence and security have all opened the door for a revival of nuclear power in Europe and elsewhere, but we argue that without the solution to the nuclear waste quandary pioneered by Sweden and Finland, the industry would still be waiting for the nuclear renaissance.

    Answers to the comments by reviewer RC2: General comments: 1) My main issue with this manuscript has to do with its readability. There are numerous grammatical errors throughout, some of which are pointed out below. A native English speaker should edit the paper before resubmission. This is now done. The authors are grateful for the thorough review also concerning the language. 2) The authors tend to make some broad sweeping conclusions based on trends that are only significant across a small fraction of the total study region. I would like to see more discussion of the full picture (like Figure 9). Pg 10 L2 and Pg11 L5 are two instances where the discussion is too narrow in focus. The authors have now extended the mentioned discussions (sections 3.1.1, 3.1.3 and 3.3.) as requested. The systematic signal of change is not as dramatic in Finland as in some areas, because of the large variation of winter weather. Especially the sea ice extent of Baltic Sea affects largely the Finnish winter weather. If the Gulf of Finland and Gulf of Bothnia freeze completely the Finnish climate is almost continental in winter even on the coast. We added a comment about the hemispherical study published recently, where we studied the effect of weather parameters on the observed changes in larger areas. Section 3.1.1 main addition: Especially variable melt onset timing is in the coastal regions (Southwestern Finland and Southern Ostrobothnia) and in the Lake district. For those regions the standard deviation values of the melt onset day are 14.3, 14.7 and 14.6, respectively.
