The Most Expensive Building You Never Heard Of - OLKILUOTO 3
Finnstream (YouTube Channel ^

Posted on 11/14/2022 1:37:08 PM PST by Right Wing Vegan

OLKILUOTO

Located in Finland, Olkiluoto 3 is one of the most expensive buildings in the whole world. Originally set out to be completed in 2009, the power plant is still not working to this day. In this video I try to decipher all the reasons behind this delay and find out how can a building go over 8 billion Euros over budget.

When you see a place like this, be certain that it’s infested with vampires.

...how can a building go over 8 billion Euros over budget?

Because everything government touches turns to excrement?

Just a guess.

Riffing on an old Reagan joke: If there are delays that long and cost overruns that massive, the Southern Company has got to be in there somewhere.

Eight billion Euros OVER budget. That can buy a lot of corn dogs and honey mustard.

There are well documented processes for managing projects of this magnitude. What are the requirements? (A-Spec, B-Spec)

[Don't allow regulatory (political) agencies change the rules and don't include stupid stuff like withstanding an airliner crash]

Is the funding available?

Do those bidding on the contract have the necessary talent and resources to execute?

Do they have the subcontractor relationships?

Is the fuel GFP and/or is that supply chain established? Etc...

—”[Don’t allow regulatory (political) agencies change the rules and don’t include stupid stuff like withstanding an airliner crash]”

This requirement predates 911.

From 2002 but sites work from1968.

It’s not the touch of government that does this. The cost overruns are almost all due to systemic racism and homophobia.

This is not "risk management"!

This is "what requirement can I impose so the plant is never built?".

On West Coast Shuttle (at VAFB, CA) they had a requirement to be able to land at V-19 (VAFB landing strip) in zero-zero visibility.

Nobody was going to attempt to land a $Billion spacecraft in those conditions.

We ignored the requirement.

It’s a nuclear plant.

The main issue with most of them is a bunch of new ones were approved and started construction in the early 2000s.

Then Fukushima happened, and we discovered a bunch of new ways a nuclear plant can fail.

That forced redesigns on all those plants underway, doubling prices.

My Grand Dad helped build Hanford Atomic Works.

My father worked there from 1955-1997.

I entered Nuclear Weapons training in 1971 and my graduate paper was on a path to Fusion power.

Fukushima site location was dumb under prior site requirements.
