Olkiluoto nuclear power plant

First, news about the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant.

Maintenance work on the Olkiluoto reactors has been delayed.

Olkiluoto has 3 reactors. Now there are 2 reactors in service.

The maintenance work was supposed to be over by now, but the maintenance work will only be completed in the next few days.

The maintenance work on the Olkiluoto reactors has therefore been delayed.

That is why it has been feared that there may even be a shortage of electricity. About 30 percent of Finland’s electricity comes from the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant.

However, the situation is not bad. In the spring, a lot of wind and solar electricity is obtained.

White-fronted geese

Then the news about the geese.

White-cheeked geese cause damage to farmers.

White-fronted geese live in central Europe in the winter, and they often migrate north through Finland in the spring.

Then there can be a lot of them in the fields, up to 50,000 geese in one open field.

In the fields, white-cheeked geese cause damage to farmers.

That’s why they are trying to expel them.

Even goose exterminators have been hired for the job. They walk in fields where geese are not wanted.

Birds can also be scared away with, for example, a hand laser like this.

Eurovision

Finland is participating in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday.

Finland’s representative Windows95man competed in the semi-finals yesterday and made it to the next round.

The Eurovision Song Contest is this week in Malmö, Sweden. There are 37 countries involved.
