The purpose of site screening is to justify the selection of few sites for further development
• Site screening is done in the very beginning of the NPP project development when several possible NPP sites have been identified
• The target of the screening is to analyse and rank several sites in order to enable further development of only a few sites without major surprises – in other words, to optimally allocate the substantial investment required for further development
• More detailed assessment is carried out in the chosen sites as the project proceeds to permitting phases
Permits in accordance with the Finnish Nuclear Energy Act

In addition, careful identification of “show stoppers” and major risks is of crucial importance.
The sites are assessed and scored against two main sets of criteria, which are divided to several subsets of criteria

Conclusion
A comprehensive, versatile and professional site-screening results in optimal selection of the site and thus
decreases project risks related to site-spesific issues
–
however, as the issue of nuclear power is complex in any society, this does not mean that everybody would be happy with the project or even with the site selection.
