TABLE-Nordic nuclear power plant outages – Reuters

SLO, May 27 (Reuters) - Sweden's 1,400 MW Oskarshamn-3 
nuclear reactor, the biggest in the Nordic countries, 
is expected to be back in operation on Tuesday, ramping 
up to full power by June 7, its operator said in a 
market message.
    The other reactor at the same plant, 473-MW 
Oskarshamn-1, is scheduled to restart on Monday, b
ut its output will be kept at approximately 100 MW 
during a testing period lasting two weeks.
    Output from 638 MW Oskarshamn-2 reactor 
has been reduced to 350 MW due to high vibrations 
on turbine valves, and the reduction is to last until
 the start of annual maintenance on June 1.
    Nordic countries have almost half of total installed 
nuclear power capacity offline due to maintenance as of 
early Monday. 
    The following table lists Nordic nuclear units,
 installed and available net capacity in megawatt, 
dates for the end of the outages and planned maintenance 
duration.
