Contrary to some Finnish media reports today, Outokumpu confirms that it is fully committed in the Fennovoima nuclear power project. Outokumpu has a close to 10% stake in the Fennovoima project, which got a parliamentary decision-in-principle last summer to construct a new nuclear power plant in Finland. The project is important in securing the Group's long-term cost-competitiveness.
