Finland’s Lupa- ja valvontavirasto calls on Tuike Finland to suspend environmentally significant preparatory work immediately, and by 23 October at the latest, until environmental impact assessments are complete. Low-impact planning, measurements and soil surveys are excluded.

What this means for the project

This concerns preparatory work at the Muhos and Kajaani projects. It does not establish cancellation, a blanket construction ban, or a halt at Vaala or operating Hamina facilities.

This is a dated account of the cited evidence. Subsequent decisions may change the position. Directory lifecycle fields retain their own evidence and verification dates.
