Romania's nuclear power plant operator Nuclearelectrica and France's Framatome are aiming to launch a full-scale commercial irradiation service for medical isotopes in 2028.

The Board of Directors at the US Export-Import (Exim) Bank has approved a final commitment for a USD98 million loan for pre-project services needed for the development of a first-of-kind NuScale small modular reactor in Romania.

Romania's Nuclearelectrica and project company RoPower Nuclear have signed the Front-End Engineering and Design Phase 2 contract with Fluor Corporation for the DoiceÈ™ti small modular reactor project.

The European Commission has issued a positive opinion on the technical and nuclear safety aspects of the construction of units 3 and 4 at Cernavoda nuclear power plant in Romania. Unit 3 is scheduled to start commercial operation in 2030 and unit 4 the following year.

Romania's Nuclearelectrica and Canadian Nuclear Partners have signed a long-term framework agreement to provide project management services for the refurbishment of Cernavoda nuclear power plant's unit 1.

Nuclearelectrica and Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power have held a ceremony to mark the start of work on what will become Europe's first tritium removal facility, at Romania's Cernavoda nuclear power plant.

Romania plans a small modular reactor power plant, using NuScale technology, with South Korea's Doosan Enerbility set to manufacture and supply the core equipment, including the upper reactor module.

An International Atomic Energy Agency follow-up mission has concluded that the selection of Doicesti as the site for deployment of small modular reactors complied with the agency's safety standards.

Italian finance and insurance group SACE, Ansaldo Nucleare and Romania's Nuclearelectrica have signed a memorandum of understanding relating to the life extension of Cernavoda unit 1 and the development of units 3 and 4.

Romania's Nuclearelectrica has secured a loan agreement of EUR145 million (USD159 million) with the European Investment Bank towards the completion of what will be Europe's first Tritium Removal Facility, at the Cernavoda nuclear power plant.

Romania's Nuclearelectrica and France's Framatome have signed a cooperation agreement on exploring the production of the medical isotope lutetium-177 at the Cernavoda nuclear power plant.

Romania is committed to maintaining and strengthening its regulatory framework for nuclear and radiation safety, an International Atomic Energy Agency team of experts has concluded. However, the Integrated Regulatory Review Service mission team recommended improving the coordination among government agencies concerned with radiation source facilities and activities.
