8 Olkiluoto 3 Project in a Nutshell - Investment decision: Start up: Turn-key supplier: Consortium formed by AREVA NP and Siemens - Reactor type: EPR (PWR) - Reactor thermal power: 4,300 MW - Net electrical output: 1,600 MW - Investment cost: 3 billion (in 2003 value) - Operating personnel: Esa Mannola 8

9 OL3 Turbine Island Turbine-generator set 1 Number of turbines 1 HP + 3 LP Gross electrical n MW Turbine revolution rpm Steam temperature 290 o C Cooling water flow 53 m 3/ s 9

10 Plant Contract Fixed-priced turn-key contract including: engineering licensability manufacturing and procurement civil work excluding excavation installation testing and implementation plant performance schedule and quality. 10

11 EPR: Evolutionary Design based on Experience from the most recent Reactors Evolutionary development Solid Basis of Experience with Confirmed Performance

12 OL3 Main Structures and Data Reactor thermal capacity 4,300 MW Electric output 1,600 MW Net efficiency 37 % Total building volume 1,000,000 m 3 Excavation volume 500,000 m 3 Amount of concrete 250,000 m 3 Structural steel 52,000 t

13 Main EPR Safety Features Double containment with ventilation and filtration Melt core cooling area Containment heat dispersion system Water reserves inside the containment Four redundant safety systems

14 Containment Management of the Reactor Debris In the event of core meltdown, molten core escaping from the reactor would be passively collected and retained, then cooled in a specific area inside the reactor building No containment melt-through! 14
