“Romania’s targeted goal is energy independence and my government will support all technologies producing sustainable electricity. We want to start investments into a third and fourth nuclear reactor at Cernavoda as soon as possible,” said Grindeanu at the Nuclear Research Institute in Mioveni, southern Romania.
He said the institute could supply equipment, services and technical assistance for the two reactors to be built, as it did for the first two.
The Council of the Organization for Economic Co‑operation and Development (OECD) last week invited Romania to become a full member of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and its Data Bank. The accession will be formalized in June 2017.
