The country of Finland stands far ahead in the field of nuclear power, with nuclear reactors providing approximately 30 percent of the country's energy. In September of 2017, Finland announced the next step of legislation to phase out coal.
The legislation, expected to be passed next year, would include a plan to eliminate coal by 2030. Finland's plan to phase out coal will likely include an increase in nuclear power.
Finland already has four nuclear power reactors, with two more set to open when they receive permits and authorization. The country has established a depository where the nuclear waste can be stored without the threat of contamination. Nuclear power experts commend Finland for its successful nuclear waste management program.
