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

Pöyry approach to the assessment of alternative nuclear power
plant sites
The sites are assessed and scored against two main sets of criteria,
which are divided to several subsets of criteria
1) Technical and commercial feasibility
Geology
Cooling
Grid
Logistics
Nuclear specific
2) Political, socioeconomic and environmental feasibility
Land use
Political
Socioeconomic
Environmental
In addition, careful identification of “show stoppers” and major risks is
of crucial importance.

Conclusion
A comprehensive, versatile and professional sitescreening 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.
