The Romanian Ministry of Economy wants to back off from building Romania’s fifth nuclear reactor plant, Cernavodă, on the Danube, reveals România Liberă. The newspaper explains –
The CANDU technology security measures following the Fukushima accident, the very low flow of the Danube, which has prompted the shutdown of the plant in the past, and finally, lack of money.
According to the Bucharest daily, the reactor would have allowed the country to meet more than 40 per cent of its needs. Units 3 and 4, which are in an advanced stage of construction, do meet European standards.
