Estonian nuclear energy developer Fermi Energia has called on neighbouring Finland’s TVO Nuclear Services (TVONS) to act in an advisory role for its planned small modular reactor (SMR) project which is due online by the middle of the next decade.

TVONS is fully owned by the operator of Finland’s Olkiluoto nuclear plant, Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO).

In its role as advisor to what will be Estonia’s first nuclear power plant, TVONS will support during project initiation, licencing preparations including delivery models and commissioning.
