Annual outage 2019 at Fortum's Loviisa nuclear power plant completed
Both units at Fortum’s Loviisa nuclear power plant are back in production upon completion of their annual outages. The annual outage of Unit 2 lasted nearly 26 days, until 13 September 2019, and the maintenance outage of Unit 1 lasted 20 days, until 27 September. Both units underwent a refuelling outage, during which about one quarter of the fuel was replaced.
The planned duration of Unit 2’s refuelling outage was exceeded by about eight days because of the repairs made during the annual outage to the cooling piping of two of the four emergency generators where leaks had been discovered
