Owners and suppliers of Finland’s Olkiluoto 3 nuclear reactor – locked in dispute over delayed project

Reuters 14th Nov 2017, Pohjolan Voima Oy (PVO), the largest shareholder in Finland’s
long-delayed Olkiluoto 3 nuclear reactor, could make additional
compensation claims against suppliers Areva and Siemens following a recent
setback, PVO said on Tuesday.

The start of regular power production at
Olkiluoto 3 – Finland’s largest reactor – was last month postponed by
another five months to May 2019. “It (further compensation) has been

The owners and supplier are locked in a dispute over the plant’s delays at the International

3.6 billion euros….
