/ 890 MW

Reactor typeBoiling water reactor
A boiling water reactor (BWR) allows water to boil directly in the reactor, creating steam that drives the turbines. This is a simpler design but requires the turbines to handle radioactive steam.

/ 1,600 MW

Reactor typePressurized water reactor
A pressurized water reactor (PWR) uses pressurized water as a coolant to prevent boiling. This water transfers heat to a secondary circuit that drives the turbines, ensuring that radioactive water never reaches the turbines.

Finnish nuclear power: current reactor status

Finland has five reactors in commercial operation at Olkiluoto and Loviisa. Olkiluoto's three reactors are shown individually using TVO data. Loviisa's two reactors are combined into one shared card.

Nuclear power in Finland

Olkiluoto in Eurajoki has three reactors: two boiling water reactors and the Olkiluoto 3 pressurized water reactor. Loviisa has two VVER-440 pressurized water reactors.

The Finnish view combines operator data from TVO with Fingrid's measurement of Finland's total nuclear generation. Nordic Nuclear Power is independent of both organizations.

Finnish Nuclear Reactors Overview

Olkiluoto

Olkiluoto nuclear power plant in Eurajoki operates three reactors. Olkiluoto 1 and 2 are boiling water reactors with a net output of 890 MW each. Olkiluoto 3 is an EPR pressurized water reactor with a net output of 1,600 MW.

Location

Eurajoki, Satakunta, Finland

Type

BWR (OL1–2), PWR/EPR (OL3)

Operators

Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO)

Loviisa

Loviisa nuclear power plant operates two VVER-440 pressurized water reactors with a net output of 507 MW each. Because the real-time source used here does not split generation by unit, the plant's calculated total is shown as one combined card.

Location

Loviisa, Uusimaa, Finland

Type

Two pressurized water reactors (VVER-440)

Frequently Asked Questions About Finnish Nuclear Power

How many nuclear reactors operate in Finland?

Finland has five reactors in commercial operation: three at Olkiluoto and two at Loviisa.

How is Loviisa's output calculated?

Loviisa's combined output is calculated by subtracting TVO's current Olkiluoto 1–3 output from Fingrid's measurement of Finland's total nuclear generation.

Why are Loviisa 1 and 2 combined?

Fingrid's real-time series reports the national total rather than separate values for Loviisa's two reactors. A combined card avoids splitting the calculated value between units without supporting source data.

How often is the Finnish data updated?

Fingrid's nuclear generation total updates every three minutes. This service briefly caches the data to use the source responsibly.

Data Sources and Reliability

All power data presented on this dashboard comes from official data sources. Power data for Olkiluoto 1–3 comes directly from Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO), while Finland's total nuclear generation comes from Fingrid. Loviisa's combined value is calculated by subtracting Olkiluoto 1–3 from Fingrid's total. This ensures accurate, up-to-date information about Finland's nuclear power generation.

Data sources include Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) and Fingrid Open Data, providing comprehensive coverage of all Finnish nuclear reactors. Fingrid data is used under CC BY 4.0, and the Loviisa calculation is a modification of the source data made by Nordic Nuclear Power.
