A readily equipped location for OL4

A nuclear power plant necessitates functioning infrastructure at the plant site. The infrastructure needed for the new unit largely already exists in Olkiluoto. The land area has already been zoned and there are good water conditions for cooling the new plant unit. The connection of the new plant unit to the national high-voltage grid will be straightforward and the location of a new power transmission line has been taken into account in regional as well as Olkiluoto area land use plans.

Safety considerations taken into account

Constructing a new nuclear power plant site in Olkiluoto is a good solution also in terms of safety considerations. The Olkiluoto plant is already equipped with complete procedures, a skilled workforce, and thirty years of experience in taking care of nuclear safety issues. Also the area's emergency and public authorities have decades of experience in ensuring safety.
