Energy consumption from fossil fuels is expected to decrease due to a stated commitment to lower carbon dioxide emissions and address climate change. This reduction will inevitably increase demand for other energy sources, including nuclear – currently the fastest growing source of energy worldwide. Many countries have stated plans to build new nuclear reactors to cope with demand, including China, India, Russia, UK, and the USA. Others are investing heavily in upgrading existing facilities, including Canada and France.

The Cernavodă nuclear power station in Romania has two Candu reactor units. France and Romania signed a declaration of intent that includes plan to work with “strategic partners” to build Units 3 and 4 of the Cernavodă nuclear power station and to refurbish Unit 1.

The document was signed by French prime minister Jean Castex and his Romanian counterpart Ludovic Orban, who led a delegation of his ministers to Paris.

In a statement following the signing Mr Orban said an agreement had also been signed between Romana’s state nuclear corporation Nuclearelectrica, which operates the Cernavodă station, and French nuclear engineering company Orano, but he gave no further details.

Earlier this month Romania and the US signed a draft cooperation agreement for the construction of Cernavodă-3 and -4 and the refurbishment of Cernavodă-1.
