Small nuclear reactors considered for Helsinki and Kuopio

Finland's Helen has begun its nuclear program to build a small nuclear power plant for district heating in Helsinki, aiming to achieve carbon-neutral energy production by the 2030s. The initial phase, set for completion by 2026, involves negotiating with partners, assessing suppliers, and choosing plant sites. Helen’s nuclear plan focuses on small modular reactors (SMRs) that provide heat or combined heat and electricity.
