“Nuclearelectrica’s contribution to the Romanian nuclear energy and radioactive waste agency ANDR reached RON545 million between 2004 and November 30, 2013,” the power company told Mediafax.
The cost of the radioactive waste storing facility is estimated at around EUR452 million.
Nuclearelectrica’s contribution comes from two taxes the company wires annually to ANDR. The agency deposits the money in an account at the State Treasury.
Nucleareletrica operates two 700-megawatt reactors, covering around 18% of Romania’s energy consumption.
