“The production of electricity in the OL3 reactors was interrupted on the evening of Sunday, November 19, due to a fault located on the so-called turbine island,” TVO reported.
The cause of the malfunction was a malfunctioning temperature measurement in the generator’s cooling system. After operations in zriadení vykonajú kontroly a testovanie. TVO expects to restore electricity production to the OL3 reactors on Tuesday. production around 12:00 on November 21.
Olkiluoto 3 is the so-called European tlakovodný reactor of generation III+, developed by French companies, but has a capacity of 1600 megawatts.
Its construction began in 2005, but the test facilities were put into full operation for the first time last September, and it was put into operation in April of that year. Vyrába approximately 14 percent with “finskéj elektriny”.
The original plans included putting it into operation more than 12 months ago. According to revised plans, the small temporary production of electricity was fully launched last December, but during the testing phase this step was postponed several times.
As well as other EPR projects in Finland, France and Britain, the construction of this reactor was characterized by delays and unexpected high financial costs.
Scientists began to develop a modern reactor of the EPR type after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 in order to ensure greater safety and production capacity.

With its production capacity of 1,600 megawatts, Olkiluoto 3 is the most powerful nuclear reactor in Europe, while the Ukrainian Záporožská nuclear power plant is the largest European power plant with its six capable reactors.
