Nuclearelectrica had initially estimated that its nuclear reactor 1 will be shut down for seven days. Sunday, it announced the reactor will be reconnected to the national system Tuesday.
 
Cernavoda’s nuclear reactor 2 is currently subject to overhaul works.
 
The Cernavoda nuclear power plant has two 700-megawatt reactors, which provide around 17% of the country’s power needs.
 
Romania plans to build another two reactors at Cernavoda, which are scheduled to become operational by 2015-2016.
