The Estonian government has decided to start the process of the national special plan and strategic environmental impact assessment needed for a 600 Megawatt nuclear power plant and its infrastructure.
Private sector firm Fermi Energia applied for initiating the process in January, while the plan’s purpose is to assess the most suitable location and the impact on the environment, local residents, and the economy, according to the annotated agenda of a government’s meeting on Thursday.
The planned area covers over 1,200 square kilometers in both Lääne-Viru and Ida-Viru counties in northeastern Estonia, along with a marine area stretching from Kunda Bay to Narva Bay, on the north coast.
