Romania’s Government will pull out of the deal with China for the construction of reactors 3 and 4 at the Cernavoda NPP, prime minister Ludovic Orban announced in an interview with Hotnews.ro on 22 January. “It is clear to me that the partnership with the Chinese company is not going to work,” Orban said, adding that the government has already started to look for a new partner and financing for this project. He added that any new projects in Romania’s energy sector will depend on the European Union’s Green Deal aimed at reducing CO2 emissions.

Candu Energy, a member of Canada’s SNC-Lavalin Group, and its consortium partner Ansaldo Nucleare of Italy, have been awarded a CAD13.9m (€9.5m) contract by Romania’s national nuclear company Nuclearelectrica for engineering services at the 650 MW Cernavodă -1 nuclear power reactor.
Work under the contract will include condition assessments of systems, structures and components for the Candu unit, which began commercial operation in December 1996.
Completion of the work will form the basis of the refurbishment for the plant. The project is a key step for Nuclearelectrica in preparation for the life extension of Cernavoda-1, which was the first Candu plant in Europe and is expected to operate for another 30 years.
