Finland’s Fennovoima negotiates with Russian company
The Finnish power consortium Fennovoima has entered into negotiations with Rossatom, the Russian nuclear company, over a new reactor planned at Pyhäjoki in northern Finland.
Talks are to start immediately. Fennovoima is especially interested in Rossatom’s 1200 megawatt AES-2006 pressurised water reactor.
Rossatom is currently working to fill 19 orders for that model from all over the world. The company is also building two similar reactors in Russia.
The Finnish company has also been negotiating with the Japanese firm Toshiba since February. A decision is expected within a year.
