Nuclear power and the environment

Nuclear power production complies with environmental permits

The operations of TVO’s nuclear power plant units complied with the company’s environmental policy, environmental permits and environmental management system. No significant environment-related deviations were identified. Emissions from the Olkiluoto power plant were minor, only fractions of the permitted limits.

A total of 228 new fuel rod bundles (39.8 tonnes) were loaded in the OL1 and OL2 plant units during annual maintenance, and 228 bundles of spent nuclear fuel (37.1 tonnes) were removed from the reactors.
