Units 3 and 4 – Nuclearelectrica

Units 1 and 2, the only nuclear reactors in Romania, have been some of the top performing in the world with capacity factors of 90.0% and 93.6% respectively, since commissioning.

This project will well-position AtkinsRéalis (formerly SNC-Lavalin) for additional CANDU projects abroad. They are currently looking at expanding into Australia, who, like Canada, has massive uranium deposits, but no domestic enrichment capacity. The Canadian CANDU reactor uses natural uranium for fuel, so no enrichment is required. This enables a complete domestic fuel supply chain, ensuring energy security.
