Romanian nuclear power oversight committee CNCAN recently asked Cernavoda to reevaluate the security of its two active reactors, at the request of the European Commission, following the post-quake developments at the Fukushima plant in Japan.
Stress testing at Cernavoda will begin this year and it will conclude in 2012.
“We have this money (EUR50 million),” Budulan said.
The test results will be send to the European Commission. A preliminary report will be written by September 15.
The Cernavoda plant runs on two reactors, providing some 20% of electricity output on a national level.
