Nuclearelectrica [BSE:SNN], the operator of Romania's sole nuclear power
plant (NPP) Cernavoda, said on Friday it will reconnect the plant's Unit 1 to
the power grid in the morning of November 12.
On November 9, Nuclearelectrica said it had to disconnect the unit from the
grid due to damage to a power line caused by bad weather.
"In order to resynchronise Unit 1 to the National Power System,
Cernavoda NPP specialists decided to perform additional works, including the
verification of installations, works which can only be performed with the
reactor in shut down mode, as per the applicable procedures of the nuclear
power plant," Nuclearelectrica said in a press release.
"During the outage, the systems of the power plant functioned in
compliance with the project and there was no impact on the nuclear safety of
the reactor, operational personnel, population and environment,"
Nuclearelectrica said.
The Cernavoda plant, located in southeastern Romania, has two reactors of
700 megawatts each, which cover roughly a fifth of the country's power needs.
Blue-chip Nuclearelectrica was trading flat at 4.86 lei on Wednesday at
1450 CET on the Bucharest Stock Exchange.
