EPR reactor project in Finland - What you won’t hear from the industry Greenpeace briefing By Kaisa Kosonen Updated 15.10.2006 Claim: Only few Finns opposed nuclear and now Finns have largely accepted it Reality: Opposition against nuclear had never been as active in Finland as it was before the political decision was taken. Still today the majority favors renewables before nuclear. Opposition against nuclear had never been so active and visible in Finland than it was in 2000 – 2002, before the political decision about the 5th nuclear reactor (Olkiluoto-3) was taken. There were debates, demonstrations, opinion articles, cultural events etc indifferent parts of Finland. In April 2002 the biggest ever environmental demonstration was organized in Helsinki, where 6000 people were marching against nuclear. That is a very big demonstration in a country of five million people.
