Construction of the Olkiluoto 3 [49] power station in Finland began in August 2005. [4] The station has an electrical power output of 1600 MWe (net). [10] The construction was a joint effort of French Areva and German Siemens AG through their common subsidiary Areva NP, for Finnish operator TVO. Siemens ceased nuclear activities in 2011.
The Borssele nuclear power plant was built by Siemens and has been operational since 1973. Originally it was built primarily to supply relatively cheap electricity to an aluminum smelting facility, opened by French concern Pechiney at a nearby site in 1971, that for many years used two-thirds of the output of the power plant.
The Kahl plant was the first nuclear power plant ever to be built in Germany. [1] It was located in Karlstein am Main and was an (at the time) experimental boiling water reactor. It was built by General Electric and supplied by Siemens. At the end of 2008, the demolition works had been finished.
Nuclear power stations using Parsons steam turbines include Bradwell, Calder Hall, Dungeness, Heysham 2 and Oldbury in England [8] and Chapelcross and Hunterston in Scotland. [9] Parsons took over the turbine and generator factories in Erith and Witton of the General Electric Company in the 1960s. [10]
