Current Status of Waste Management Programme : 

Two underground repositories for LLW/ILW in operation since 1992 (Olkiluoto) and 1998 (Loviisa) Spent fuel Site selected for the deep repository (Olkiluoto) Construction of the underground site characterisation facility (ONKALO) started in 2004 Start of final disposal in 2020 Funds collected for future costs of nuclear waste management EUR 1.4 bill. in 2005 Current Status of Waste Management Programme

Spent Fuel Management : 

Spent Fuel Management Interim storage in water pools at the power plant sites (total accumulation 1380 tU by the end of 2004) Preparations for final disposal since the early 1980s (R&D, siting, EIA) ”Decision in Principle” process (1999-2001) for implementation of final disposal; decision of the Government in 2000, ratification by the Parliament in 2001 Direct disposal in crystalline bedrock; site selected for the deep repository (Olkiluoto in the municipality of Eurajoki) Construction of the underground rock characterisation facility (ONKALO) started in 2004

Facts Supporting Use and New Build of Nuclear Power in Finland : 

Facts Supporting Use and New Build of Nuclear Power in Finland Positive technical and economical experiences of nuclear power over 25 years Competitive generating costs and long-term price predictability CO2 free energy form in line with national targets Efforts to reduce dependence on import and to increase security of supply Suitability of TVO’s ownership for long-term investment (cost base model) Politically accepted spent fuel disposal and waste management solutions, as well as proper funding arrangement for future costs
