A disturbance was detected in Olkiluoto 3 on Thursday at noon. The reactor is currently running at low power.
OL3 produces electricity with a power of approximately 960 megawatts while the cause of the disturbance is being investigated, says Teollisuuden Voima’s communications manager Johanna Aho.
According to Aho’s estimate, electricity production will be able to be increased after 6 pm today. The normal power of the OL3 reactor is about 1,600 megawatts.
Olkiluoto 2’s electricity production is currently suspended due to rotor repair work. The damaged rotor is replaced with a new one.
O2’s electricity production will start on Sunday, October 6 with limited power, as the cause of the rotor failure has not been determined.
