A team of 25 international experts from the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) assessed the Cernavoda nuclear power plant in November and concluded that the plant has a high level of nuclear safety, a press release shows.

“Nuclear safety is the top priority for Nuclearelectrica. Consequently, we are keen on maintaining a strong all-area level of nuclear safety, namely: operations, maintenance, work management and outage performance, chemistry, equipment reliability, engineering, radiological protection, emergency preparedness, operating experience, training, organizational efficiency and nuclear safety culture,” said CEO Cosmin Ghita.

“Nuclearelectrica works closely with WANO and with peers from across the world to strive for the highest nuclear safety standards, the newest solutions developed at international level, and with a strong focus on current nuclear safety investments and maintenance and also on personnel behavior with a view to abide by the norms and nuclear safety standards,” he added.

The World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) is a not-for-profit international organization that helps its members maximize the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants worldwide. WANO members operate some 460 nuclear units in over 30 countries and areas worldwide.
