The Nuclear Power Plant in Cernavodă (Romanian: Centrala Nucleară de la Cernavodă) is the only nuclear power plant in Romania. It produces around 20% of the country's electricity. It uses CANDU reactor technology from AECL, using heavy water produced at Drobeta-Turnu Severin as its neutron moderator and as its coolant agent. By using nuclear power, Romania is able to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by over 10 million tonnes each year. CNE-INVEST is responsible for the preservation of Units 3–5.
