Nuclearelectrica's management has stalled critical nuclear projects in Romania, notably the Cernavodă Units 3 and 4, originally slated for completion by 2028/2029. Plans for rehabilitation of Unit 1 were also disrupted, reflecting broader challenges in managing state-owned enterprises.
The Doicești Small Modular Reactor (SMR) project, with a projected cost of $6 billion and a capacity of only 450MW, faces financing constraints and site selection issues, raising concerns about commercial viability. Romania's nuclear program suffers from repeated delays and execution challenges across its projects, necessitating a reevaluation of governance and execution strategies. Without addressing these underlying issues, future nuclear investments, including SMRs, may continue to face similar risks and delays.
