Description

The Finnish power utility TVO has open the first new European nuclear plant in 15 years. The pressurized light water reactor is the product of a French/German design team and promises to deliver as much as 15 percent of the nation’s total electricity needs. Although it is a decade behind schedule and billions of Euros over the original cost estimates, the plant promises to deliver clean power for decades—along with ground-breaking deep storage of nuclear waste, and an interesting experiment in the use of waste heat for agriculture.Access all episodes of This Week in Engineering on engineering.com TV along with all of our other series.
