Nuclearelectrica will shut down reactor 2 in Cernavoda for maintenance to ensure optimal and continuous functioning during the winter season, when electricity consumption is higher.
Romania’s two nuclear reactors have been shut down several times in the past months for unscheduled works and the company started an investigation.
Nuclearelectrica is owned by the state through the Department for Energy.
The nuclear plant in Cernavoda has two reactors that cover nearly 20% of the country’s electricity consumption.
