New Finnish Nuclear Power Plant (UPM-Kymmene & Stora Enso)

UPM-Kymmene and Stora-Enso are two large Finnish paper industry companies behind all these new nuclear plants in Finland/Europe. If you boycott the products from these companies, you will also help to free Finland from these nuclear plants!

UPM-Kymmene and Stora-Enso in Finland are building a new nuclear power plant in Europe. The first one in 15 years. Only China and India are building such units. Germans do not want to have any more nuclear plants for what so ever reasons.

Ruukki (or Rautaruukki) is a large company in Finland making metal based components, systems and integrated systems to the construction and mechanical engineering industry. They have a wide selection of metal products and services. At the moment Rautaruuki is one of the companies demanding to build new nuclear power plants in Finland. Please boycott the products of this company also. That is the only way to free Finland from this nuclear mafia.

Here is how the deal goes with paper industry:

-Customers get cheap paper with low prices (most of wood is stolen or very cheap from Russia and energy is coming from cheap nuclear power plants).

- Owners get huge profits, that money goes mostly outside Finland.

- Finns get only the waste of the paper manufacturing process including the nuclear waste of nuclear power plants.

- There are too few jobs left in those companies, the automation already took care of that.

My opinion is that the Finnish paper industry is in troble because the management there can not do their job. They are not able to put the expences to the end product. The arabs sure know how to put the price to the oil.

I would rather kick thouse companies out of Finland. Nobody needs them. Their place is in some 3 class banana contry where they maybe can do what they will (or better yet nowhere). Finland surely does not want to get a reputation to harbour cheap nuclear energy!

Many people know where those products are used, boycotting them is not a problem. And there are also other ways. Whatever, it is important that finns know who is actually playing behind these strange new nuclear power plants. Finns have several ways to deal with them here in Finland. I don't like having a nuclear plant in my neighbourhood. I rather kick those companies out of Finland (World) than have them poisoning my country or any other country!

[conradsh451]

In Finland they had several other possibilities, but since they just want it cheap, they want to build more nuclear power. That is the reason I am against it. One should not always try to save money too much since the end price can be very high. Those companies try to save money so much that the destroy my country and I don't like it!

BTW: The Low Level Radiation Campaign has claimed that a 40% increase in Belarusian cancer rates has occurred, with a similar increase in northern Sweden. (This is due to the Chernobyl accident 1986)

Keep it up Finland! Nuclear power is the best way to produce baseload power, without emitting any pollution. All around the world their building more nuclear reactors, hopefully we can star building soon in the USA. I'm going to definitely tried to support UPM-Kymmene and Stora-Enso if they are in fact helping the project along.

wind turbines or solar pannels just aren't efficient enough.  they'll continue to be that way for hundreds of years. many misinformation about the safety of nuclear power come from mostly hollywood and mass media. nowdays, nuclear reactors are triple redundant or more. Chernobyl happened in Russia, a developing nation, where basically anything goes. in a first world nation like Finland, nuclear power plants are very safe. don't make a big fuss about it based on prejudice and outdated info.

What about the waste???????

@Rubellaaa The biggest shame is uneducated morons who don't know the technology behind these various energy choices, and do not understand how the real world works. Instead they are stuck in their own My Little Pony dream world, while posting stupid things on YouTube.

@paul8kangas Don't be silly, you're confused about the relationship between nuclear weapons (= nukes) and nuclear power. Nations will want to have nuclear weapons even if their houses are powered by solar. These have nothing to do with each other. If, on the other hand you mean that solar houses should replace nuclear power.. think a little bit harder: the economics of current solar power is just not on par with a large nuclear plant, especially for industry.

Nuclear Power is a death sentence for everyone. 172 recorded leaks into water sources and ground soils. We even had one hard water leak into a drinking water source in New York.

[waterworldengineer]

last I heard the reactor was two years behind schedule, over 7 billion euros in cost, and now they are saying it may cost this much again to decommission this monster when it's old... Where's the "cheap" part of this thing? And why not go with safe renewables, when solar panels 55 years old are still working fine? I'd like to see a dirty bomb made from wind turbine parts too...

[paul8kangas]

No insurance company will insure

any nuclear power plant.

The best way to stop Nukes

is to build 1 million new stand alone solar power houses.

OK, as a Finnish civilian, I am OPPOSED to this BULLSHIT of a reactor!

Reason 1: there has been nothing but delays, problems with material quality and most of the workers at the site are foreign, so it doesn't contribute to people here getting work.

2: the quality of the work has been questionable.

3: the employees of the site didn't let working safety inspectors check the construction site on time on September 30th 2010. Suspicious, isn't it?
