nuclear power plant

Romania’s nuclear power plant in Cernavoda Sunday morning temporarily shut down one of its nuclear reactors, following certain problems in the building protecting the Unit 2 nuclear reactor.

The southern Romanian area of Mioveni meets the criteria for the construction of the new nuclear plant, and the Nuclear Fuel Factory in this area is doubling its production capacity as of 2010 or 2011, according to Economy Minister Adriean Videanu.

The Romanian Government assigned the funds for the feasibility study of the country’s second nuclear power plant, and will start the construction of the nuclear reactors 3 and 4 of the power plant in Cernavoda in 2008, minister of economy and finance Varujan Vosganian said Friday.
