From Our Own Correspondent: Finland's Reactor Blues
David Shukman has some awkward questions for Areva, the French firm designing and building the vast Olkiluoto nuclear reactor
The vast Olkiluoto reactor was planned as the world's largest - and it was meant to start supplying Finland with energy years ago. But the project's completion is now long overdue and way over budget. On a recent visit to the site, David Shukman had some awkward questions for Areva, the French firm which designed the facility - and he also observed two very different business cultures at work.
