The lifecycle carbon footprint of the electricity production at Olkiluoto is low
The electricity produced in Olkiluoto is demonstrably very climate-friendly, with the calculated combined lifecycle footprint of the electricity produced at the three plant units only 9.1 g CO\2\e/kWh. That is less than one tenth of the 100 g CO\2\e/kWh* threshold value defined for climate-friendliness.The calculation of the carbon footprint covers the entire life cycle of nuclear power from uranium mining to the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel and the decommissioning of plant units. If the transmission of electricity, i.e., the Finnish national grid, is also included, the carbon
