The Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority of Finland (STUK) adds that problems at Finland's nuclear power plants have not had any impact on nuclear safety.
Well, no faults that would be dangerous.
Olkiluoto 3 specifically though is basically a glorified prototype and has had many issues with the massive turbines. Last time they said they’ve installed the last spare and had no timeline when the next would arrive, as it’s a unique part for this reactor only with leadtimes in months. If it breaks again, who knows when it will be able to start back up.
Hearing “not particularly prone to faults” in context of a nuclear powerplant isn’t exactly comforting :D
No more than any other is fine with me.
