Now, the safety regulator is questioning the designs for the reactor's nerve centre - the Instrumentation and Control system.

STUK - the Finnish safety regulator - has shown signs of irritation with the French company Areva who want to build many of Europe's future reactors.

He says the experts at Areva understand the problem but, "the company's management is not going along".
