“This investment has the potential to put our country on the map of the most important global centers of energy innovation,” said Energy Minister Sebastian Burduja.
“Romania aims to become an example for other countries in the region, where there are dozens of similar coal-fired power plants that could be transformed more quickly into nuclear power generation capacity – zero CO2 band production – using SMR technology. Safe, clean and competitively priced energy.”
The Doicesti project entails development of the first nuclear power plant using NuScale Power SMRs in Europe.
Under the FEED Phase 2 contract, Fluor is committed to provide RoPower Nuclear with the design and engineering services required for the implementation of the Doicesti SMR nuclear project.
