A microreactor is being planned in Lappeenranta. Juhani Hyvärinen,
Professor of Nuclear Engineering at LUT University, believes that a new type of nuclear power could work brilliantly as part of a future energy system.
LUT University is researching an entirely new solution to address the problem of carbon dioxide emissions due to heating. The university is developing a small nuclear power plant that will provide district heating. The minimum output of the district heat reactor must be 20–30 megawatts, and a few such units could satisfy the district heating needs of a medium-sized town.
