The antithesis to Germany: while Germany has shut down its last three nuclear power plants, a new nuclear reactor has come online in Finland, albeit 12 years late. All tests have been completed and regular electricity production has begun. It is the third reactor at the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant in southwestern Finland and is expected to cover 14 percent of the country's electricity production, according to TVO.

The Olkiluoto 3 reactor was built by the German-French consortium Areva-Siemens, and construction began in 2005. At 1600 megawatts, it is the most powerful nuclear reactor in Europe. Together with the two older reactors, the Olkiluoto NPP now produces "about 30 percent of Finland's electricity," according to the operator.

Cry, Germany, cry.
