Feldioara Uranium Concentrate Processing Plant, part of Nuclearelectrica, has won an international tender to supply uranium dioxide to cover the needs of Argentina’s nuclear power plants for a year.
Cosmin Ghita, General Manager of Nuclearelectrica, said: "The fact that we are delivering nuclear raw materials for the first time to another country that owns and operates pressurised heavy water reactors is a source of pride and achievement for Nuclearelectrica and its subsidiary, FPCU Feldioara, but also for the development of the Romanian fuel cycle, given that Nuclearelectrica took over the processing assets in December 2022, operationalised Feldioara in 2023 and continues to modernise. Such an agreement is a confirmation of the quality of the raw material processed at Feldioara.
