A vote in Parliament is expected \u201cin the first half of 2024,\u201d officials say. From the moment the programme was started in 2021 until the first production of electricity, the Estonian working group\u2019s report expects a period of 9 to 11 years, for a total cost of \u20ac73 million.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the selection of the site, a preliminary study completed in spring 2023 selected 16 regions for construction. One was excluded for reasons of national security. \u201cSocio-economic impact analyses have been carried out for the remaining 15 regions,\u201d Runnel explained. \u201cAs a result, it was recommended that first consideration should be given to establishing a nuclear power plant in four regions, one of which is located in western Estonia and the other three on the northern coast,\u201d he told Euractiv.<\/p>\n<p>As the Baltic country has not made a final decision on the deployment of nuclear power, no site selection has yet been made. Asked about the risk of building a nuclear power plant close to Russia, the coordinator of the working group appeared confident. Regarding the financing of the project, the Estonian government does not intend to contribute to the construction costs of either the plant or the company, preferring to put the project out to tender. Another important consideration for Estonia is the socio-economic impact of the transition away from oil shale.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/energy-environment\/news\/estonia-plans-small-nuclear-reactor-to-quit-shale-oil-by-2030\/\">Euractiv<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-455\/\">Estonia plans small nuclear reactor to quit oil shale by 2030<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,4812,9844],"class_list":["post-124808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-estonia","tag-nuclear-reactor"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124808\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
