Romanian nuclear utility Societatea Nationala Nuclearelectrica (SNN) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) have signed a loan agreement worth €145m ($159m) to support completion of Europe’s first Tritium Removal Facility (CTRF) at the Cernavoda NPP. The CTRF will remove the tritium from reactor’s coolant and moderator (heavy water), leading to increased protection of the environment, public and employees’ occupational health and safety.

Romanian nuclear utility SN Nuclearelectrica (SNN) and the Polytechnic University of Bucharest (UPB) have launched a NuScale Power Energy Exploration Centre (E2 Centre) at the University’s Faculty of Energy Engineering. It includes a control room simulator for NuScale’s VOYGR small modular reactor (SMR) power plant. It is the first E2 Centre to be established outside the USA. The first E2 Centre was opened at Oregon State University in 2020.

The White House said in a fact sheet on president Joe Biden’s climate plans, which he unveiled at the Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, that the partnership will position US technology to lead in the global race for SMR deployment.
The agreement will include a 12-module NuScale plant, initially creating over 6,000 US and Romanian jobs, with the potential to create 30,000 US and Romanian jobs as the project grows. Deployment of SMR technology will be an important contributor to a decarbonised power sector and net zero future.
The White House said the US is partnering with emerging economies to develop “deep decarbonisation strategies”, including strengthening the adoption of renewable and nuclear energy including SMRs.
