Delivery of the power plant unit

Fixed-price delivery of OL3

In December 2003, TVO made the decision to invest in the construction of a third nuclear power plant unit at Olkiluoto. Consortium formed by AREVA NP S.A.S, AREVA NP GmbH and Siemens is delivering the unit on a fixed-price turnkey agreement, under which the Supplier is e.g. responsible for:

• design and engineering 
• scheduling and project management 
• quality 
• licensability 
• manufacturing, procurement and transport 
• construction 
• erection and installation 
• testing and commissioning 
• performance values.
  

TVO, as the client, is responsible for applying for the necessary licences (on the basis of the Supplier's licensing documentation), which are granted by the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK). TVO is also responsible for the infrastructure and excavation work of the power plant site, connections to the national grid, and construction of certain auxiliary buildings.
