In spite of the huge delays - due to uncompromised safety needs - it is probable that the plant will be in full operation during the coming spring. And lifts the country to a self-sustainability in electricity.
One of the solved problems in Finland is the final disposal of nuclear waste. That makes a distinction to all other countries in the world and gives the northern country a relative benefit in the people´s acceptability of nuclear power compared to other nations.
In addition to nuclear power, Finland invests considerably in windmills. Their number has increased in few years so much that in January they produced almost equal amount of electricity as the nuclear plants (four old ones, and the one cited above, which is in test use).
Therefore it can be expected that Finland will become a net producer of energy in near future - most of which will be green (composed of nuclear energy, wind power, bioenergy and hydropower). That should open a new avenue to the northern country to gain economic investments. And to increase the standard of living of its inhabitants in a sustainable way.
