AbstractAbstract
[en] The year 1997 represented for the Romanian nuclear power sector the year of the performances and capabilities proved Cernavoda NPP s unit operation, after one year of successful operation. Good performances of this unit could represent a positive impact on further development of nuclear power in Romania, considering first the completion of Unit 2 and for National Heavy Water Reactor Program. On the other hand, 'The years of 1997 and 1998 marked for the Romanian Electricity Authority a new and completely different perception of the Romanian power sector'. Recently, the first step of the restructuring of power sector has been accomplished. The Romanian Government approved the creation of the National Power Grid Company and the moving-out of the nuclear activities. The present Nuclear Power Group from RENEL was transformed in a separate entity, the National 'Nuclear Ellectrica' Company, including three subsidiaries, no legal persons, one for nuclear power production CNE-PROD (Cernavoda Unit 1), one for nuclear power development CNE-INVEST (Cernavoda Unit 2 to 5) and one for nuclear fuel fabrication FCN (Pitesti Nuclear Fuel Plant). The other Units from Nuclear Power Group, such as the Heavy Water Plant - ROMAG, Center of Technology and Engineering for Nuclear Projects - CTON and the Institute for Nuclear Research-Pitesti - ICN have been transformed in a state owned company for nuclear activities. To better understand the aspects related to the nuclear power in Romania and the necessity of the continuation and development of a public information strategy based on the new look of the nuclear power sector, please, allow me to present you a few things with regard the Romanian nuclear program. The main targets of Public Information Program Strategy considered when assessing the strategy related to the public information were: education and built-up of a credibility on the construction of a nuclear power plant in general, and of the Cernavoda NPP, in particular; and once such a credibility has been gained, there should be some guiding of the policy to maintain and amplify this trust and, at the same time, to prevent and monitor the situations of crisis. The conclusion is that for Romania nuclear power based on PHWR technology is a valid, safe, economical and ethical option and the one year and half commercial operation of Unit 1 from Cernavoda NPP fully demonstrated it. The restructuring of the nuclear sector has to relay on clever decisions, to maintain a 'unity in diversity' of this industrial and scientific sector of the country. On the other hand, is our every day and future target to make clear most aspects on the nuclear energy, in general, and on nuclear power plant - the Cernavoda NPP, in particular, and to bring at everybody's hand as much as fresh and accurate and correct information on the nuclear issues of interest
