User Reviews

Do not waste time with this document unless you are very interested about Eurajoki and TVO OL3.

Documents represents TVO OL3 story on high level, but does not dig into details. The document was published in 2015 but for some reason, it doesn't tell anything about years 2011-2015. Do not expect to see any hard science, statistics, fair debate or anything. This document is more art than science.

Most of nuclear power critic is represented by former TVO engineer Arto Lauri. Arto Lauri is a well known conspiracy theorist in the scene. His theories exceeds barriers of today's science. A very careful listener can notice these theories in this document too. Document doesn't give anyone opportunity to respond Arto Lauri's claims.

I expected that this document would: - analyze why OL3 budged and timetable failed so much - discuss economical impact of nuclear power in Eurajoki - contain creditable debate between pro and anti-nuclear people

This document failed miserably my expectations. This is not a (science) document. This is something else.
