The CTRF will remove the tritium from reactor's coolant and moderator, resulting in increased protection of the environment, public and employees’ occupational health and safety, in full alignment with Nuclearelectrica’s and Europe’s ESG objectives.
The project will enhance the radiation safety of the power plant, further reduce the volume of radioactive wastes, prioritizing the well-being of the workers and allowing for the coolant and moderator to be re-used, after tritium removal. Successful completion of the project will allow for regular maintenance, refurbishments, and eventually decommissioning to be undertaken more easily, safely and efficiently.
The EIB’s approach to nuclear projects was defined in its Energy Lending Criteria 2013 and has remained unchanged since. The Bank adopts a technology neutral approach in line with the European Union's decarbonization goal and the objectives of ensuring security of energy supply and competitiveness in an environmentally sustainable, cost-efficient, effective, safe and socially acceptable way.
