EPR reactor project in Finland

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.
