Nuscale Power becomes a member of the Roman Atomic Forum (Romatom), supporting Romania's goal to become a leader in advanced nuclear energy
The nuscal decision to join Romatom reflects the company's commitment to implement the initiatives for clean nuclear energy in Romania
Bucharest, 24.05.2012-The Romanian Atomic Forum (Romatom) announces that Nuscale Power (Nuscale) has joined the association as a supporting member of the Association for the development of nuclear energetic projects and for the development of the future generation of experts, engineers and operators in advanced nuclear technology in Romania.This decision demonstrates the nuscal commitment to the development of clean nuclear energy with the technology of small modular reactors (SMR) in Romania and in the European region and recognizes the role and expertise of the Romanian nuclear industry.
Established in 2001, Romatom supports the use of safe and peaceful nuclear energy and promotes the development of the Romanian national nuclear program, launched in the early 1970s.TM SMR, has over 26 years of experience in safe operation of nuclear power stations.Romania also has over 50 years of experience in the supply chain of the nuclear industry, most of the companies being Romatoma, as well as a highly respected and rigorous nuclear industry regulatory (CNCAN) and a robust system of engineering education.
"Nuscal accession to Romatom is an important moment in our activity, contributing to a better knowledge of the capacities of the Romanian nuclear industry by the American partner, providing the nuclear community in Romania a well -deserved place in the development of the Voygr Nuscal Reactors in Romania," said Dr. Teodor Chirica, president of Romatom."The project from Doicesti, Dambovita county, will open the way for more flexibility and safety in the energy network of Romania, and diversification of the national nuclear program."
"Nuscale is honored to join Romatom and to continue the strong relationship between the United States and Romania in the nuclear industry," said John Hopkins, president and Nuscale."At Nuscale, we are committed to promoting the safe implementation of small modular reactors globally. We look forward to working with the Romatom industry community to increase Romania's nuclear capacity and to support the country's goal to become an advanced nuclear energy with zero carbon throughout the region."
This announcement is based on the existing collaboration in the field of nuclear energy between Nuscale Power, SN Nuclearelectrica SA (SNN) and Ropower Nuclear SA (Ropower), the project for the development of SMR projects in Romania, founded and owned by SNN and Nova Power & Gas S.R.L., an energy company.In 2021, nuscale and snn signed an collaboration agreement For the implementation of the first Voygr-6 nuscal power plant with six modules, 462 MWE in Romania, until the end of this decade, and earlier this year, Nuscale and Ropower started the first stage of the feed study (The front-end engineering and design works) to analyze in detail the preferred site for a potential implementation of the SMR type power plant.On May 20, 2023, at the G7 summit in Japan, The Biden Administration has announced a global public-private commitment up to $ 275 million to advance the installation of a Voygr SMR Nuscal power plant in Romania, through the second stage of the Feed Study.After the first Voygr Nuscale Planned SMR power station, Romania has the potential to host the second SMR power station in the world and the first in Europe and to become a catalyst for the development of SMR power stations, as well as a basis for supporting the operations of this new technology in other countries.
