	New nuclear power plant to Finland! Suffering from ads?

On 24th of May, 2002

The finnish parliament has voted for the construction of fifth nuclear power plant to be built in Finland. The vote was tight: 107 for - 92 against.

What do the fellow Apolytoners think about the desicion to build nuclear power plants? Should they be done, or shouldn't they?

Comments, if you have any?

I'd rather see nuclear power than oil or coal power.

Of course, don't dump the nuke plant's glowing radio-sludge near my house.

The first thing to do is to increase energy efficiency. When that cannot be improved then you consider building more power plants.

Krhm.

WOOHOO! GO, SCIENCE! IN YOUR FACE, ECO-HIPPIES!

After that burst of gloating it out of the system...

Yes, I think that nuclear power is the best way to solve the coming need for energy. It's more eco-friendly greenhouse-gas-wise than coal or oil, and less expensive than gas or solar power or other options (and gas isn't that atmosphere-friendly, either, in case of a leak.)

Also, to correct aaglo, it wasn't fifth nuclear power plant we're building, but fifth nuclear reactor. Currently, Finland has two power plants and four reactors, and this decision is about adding one more reactor to one of those plants.

You Finns must get through a lot of energy to need 5 nuclear power stations. What do you do with it all?

Sure, build them more.
You need at least 20 of them. * *


Wait a minute Finland is about 200 km from St. Petersburg.

UR, Finland is already one of the most energy-efficient countries in the world. (Or at least that's what some poster claimed in Iltasanomat.fi discussion board. )

Provost, it's cold in here in winters.

No... St.Petersburg is 200km from Finland. Your perspective is faulted

I think Russian reactor at Sosnovyi Bori is more threatening to St. Petersburg than any of Finnish reactors. Heck, Russian reactor at Sosnovyi Bori is more threatening to Finland than any of Finnish reactors.

You are only a country of, say, 3 million people...and nuclear power stations kick out a lot of power. Yorkshire has a population of about 3 million, but there aren't that many power stations inside it; 3 I think.

PH, you don't know anything about power and it's consumption

Finland pop is about 5 million. And I bet that there is much more industry in finnland than there is in Yorkshire.

And Yorkshire might get quite a lot of power imported from somewhere. But so does Finland (about 50 % of energy used, from which 50% comes from Russia). Now, we cannot rely on imported power - thus the powerplant.

And BTW, the older plants aren't so big, only about 850 MWh (or was it GWh) - but anyway, they aren't big for nuclear plants...

3 million, 5 million, still a poxy little province of the European Empire

And you'll find that Yorkshire has a considerable amount of industry and other energy demanding stuff...nincompoop!

Well, it changes everything.

Forget about my previous post. Stop building them.

It's fine with me, but nuke plants have a bad history of being pork-barrel projects (people who run them get start-up breaks and get bailed out of paying for decommissioning).

Just some thoughts...

1. Finland has as a matter of fact already reached the emission limits of the Kyoto convention, so you can't argue this positive decision with that.

2. This very recent voting result means that Finland will be the first European country to build more nuclear power for decades.

3. Rasbey is strongly opposed to nuclear energy, so that means Finland can't build more nuclear reactors ( sure, what a good arguement ).
