A third generation EPR nuclear reactor being built in Finland by
French-German consortium Areva SA (ARVCY) and Siemens AG (SI) will likely be
delayed again, to 2014 from 2013, Finnish power company Teollisuuden Voima Oyj
said Wednesday.
"Based on the latest progress information submitted by the plant supplier
Areva-Siemens, (TVO) estimates that the start of regular operation of the
Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant unit may be postponed until 2014," it said
in a brief statement.
The third generation EPR or European Pressurized Reactor called OL3, is being
built at TVO's power plant on the western coast of Finland but the project is
already years late and reportedly billions of euros over budget.
When the project was launched in 2005, the reactor was supposed to be producing
electricity by 2009 but the deadline has been pushed back repeatedly.
TVO said Areva-Siemens was responsible for keeping to the schedule.
