NPP Fennovoima Expert Statement to the EIA Report

Within the framework of the cross-border Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) concerning the construction of new nuclear power plants in Finland, an Expert Statement was elaborated on behalf of the Federal Environment Agency. The Expert Statement stresses the relevance of the proposed project for Austria. Based on data provided by the EIA documentation and publicly accessible information regarding the proposed types of nuclear reactors, dispersal models were used to verify if Austria might be affected. Significant impacts cannot be excluded on the basis of the current know-how about Generation III reactors. The Expert Statement concludes with recommendations and open questions related to the quantity and quality of the EIA documentation, which should be respected by the responsible authorities of Finland.
