In Finland, a schoolboy was not allowed on a tour because of his Russian citizenship

In Finland, a schoolboy with Russian citizenship was not allowed on an excursion to the nuclear power plant (NPP) "Olkiluoto". This was reported by the broadcaster Yle on January 31.

It is specified that in November 2024 the pupils of the gymnasium were to go to the nuclear facility, having previously filled out a questionnaire with personal data. However, one of the pupils, who has dual citizenship, received a letter that he was not allowed to visit the nuclear power plant because he could allegedly pose some kind of threat to the facility's security.

"This is a hard line of corporate security, which unfortunately cannot be influenced," Yle quoted the document as saying.

In the police of the broadcaster explained that the administration of such facilities can decide for themselves who to let in and who not.
