Abstract: | The possible future of nuclear power in Finland is examined taking into consideration the country's special position. It is argued that a prudent point of departure is to base the planning of energy systems on the principle of robustness. A robust energy mix is a feasible system which is least sensitive to uncertainties and undesirable developments. Increased energy efficiency and more benign energy forms are obviously elements of a preferable energy mix but they alone are not enough. A wide window is left for nuclear fission to contribute towards meeting the world's energy needs before these benign energy forms will be in place. |
