France's Areva SA said Friday that the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power
plant is entering the final phase of testing and has reached full
power of around 1.6 gigawatts.
The much-delayed OL3 reactor, which has been under construction
since 2005, was built by a consortium led by Areva and Siemens AG
on Finland's southwestern coast.
During the testing phase, the plant has produced more than one
terawatt of electricity for the Finnish grid, said Areva, which is
majority-owned by the French state.
Along with Siemens and operator Teollisuuden Voima Oyj, the
company said it is fully mobilized to complete the long final
testing phase at 100% power. This will lead to the contractual
acceptance of the plant.
