“The second reactor was connected to the national grid and is expected to reach nominal power today, June 2,” Nuclearelectrica said in a statement.
Cernavoda currently operates two reactors of 700 megawatts power each and covers around 20% of Romania’s electricity production.
The government plans to build two additional nuclear reactors with similar capabilities in Cernavoda, but the project was put off after several key investors withdrew from the project.
