“This procedure will be performed with the reactor at reduced power without any potential negative impact on the nuclear safety of the reactor, on the operating staff, population and environment,” the company said.
The reactor will be reconnected after the completion of the works and the verification tests performed as per the procedures of the plant.
Nuclearelectrica operates Romania’s sole nuclear power plant in Cernavoda, whose two 700-megawatt reactors cover around 18% of the country’s electricity consumption.
