Alstom supplies equipment to Cernavoda

French Alstom Company is due to deliver the second Diesel generator set for the Reactor 2 of the nuclear power plant in Cernavoda, based on an 11 million euro contract, the Trade and Economy Ministry says. The contract the two closed last year stipulates the French will supply two Diesel generator sets to provide backup power for the internal services of the Cernavoda nuclear plant. The first generator set is in an advanced stage of installation, with part of the plant and equipment required for the two sets already delivered. The funding of the acquisition made by electrical power producer Nuclearelectrica came from a loan supplied by French Groupe Societe Generale Bank. Nuclearelectrica contracted an over 400 million euro credit from a syndicate comprising Societe Generale, Banca Romana pentru Dezvoltare (Romanian Development Bank – BRD) and Credit Lyonnais in order to complete works on Cernavoda’s Reactor 2.
