- Delays in the delivery of certain systems for Posiva's final disposal project, postponing the start of the joint functional test until late 2024.
- Rising temperature of seawater, which could impact production as a power limitation.
- The processing of Posiva’s operating licence has progressed at the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), and Posiva submitted responses to the requests for additional information. In September 2023, the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority reported that the safety assessment and statement on the operating licence application for the final disposal facility for spent nuclear fuel will not be completed in 2023.
