I've been looking at pictures from the Nuclear Powerplant in Loviisa.
This nuclear power plant will be obsoleted in a decade or so. There're no plans to build new ones at Svartholmen, Loviisa.
There's a new nuke under construction in Olkiluoto and another one in Norther Finland. Nuclear power is a controversial issue but Finland is still continuing to build new units.

The group of 21 bioenergy visitors are looking at a biogas power generation unit in Rheinland-Pfalz. Germans are building a lucrative clean & green tech industry around everything related to sustainable energy.
Areva-Siemens is building a new nuclear power station at Olkiluoto in Finland. It's the third reactor at that site. The project is several years late and might be completed six years from scheduled deadline.
Two more reactors are on the drawing board: one for Fennovoima (Pyhäjoki) and a the fourth power station in Olkiluoto for Teollisuuden Voima.
Fennovoima Oyj just decided to change its CEO. Smaller companies are backing off. Are we going to see all these new nuces in use?
There are two more reactors in Loviisa, Finland. Those have to be closed around 2030 if their life-span isn't extended to 2050.
Finland is moving in a very different direction compared to Germany, Japan and Sweden. We've been strong believers in nuclear power since 1970.
Calibrate it with regular tap water and and empty container.
In power generation, fuel moisture is the main measured quality. The Metso "Kajaani" Moisture Analyzer promises customers enhanced productivity.
It's achieved with a rapid and reliable moisture content measurement.
The Metso MR Moisture Analyzer accurately measures the water content of bulk materials such as wood- based samples:
Measuring moisture more accurately at power plants, for example, can determine the true heat value of incoming biofuel better. This helps evaluate its true energy content and value to optimize boiler operation for enhanced productivity. With the new Metso MR Moisture Analyzer, it is possible to accurately measure the water content of virtually any bulk material. www.metso.com/mrmoisture
