The contract was awarded late July following negotiations.
Romania, through state-owned nuclear energy company Nuclearelectrica, controls 84.6% in EnergoNuclear, while ArcelorMittal Romania and Italy’s Enel own the remaining shares.
AECL has previously worked with Nuclearelectrica for the construction of nuclear reactor 2 at Cernavoda, alongside with Italy’s Ansaldo Energia.
Cernavoda currently operates two reactors of 700 megawatts power each and covers around 20% of Romania’s electricity production. The two new reactors are expected to double the plant’s capacity. (EUR1=RON4.2597)
