[Nucleonics Week, 21 December] An application by Russian utility United Power for a 1 GWe high-voltage undersea transmission cable from the Leningrad nuclear power plant in Russia to Finland has been rejected by Finnish Trade and Industry Minister Mauri Pekkarinen, who said the project would mean less energy self-sufficiency for Finns. United Power, which filed the application over two years ago, said it may consider a legal appeal.
