S.N. Nuclearelectrica SA (“SNN”) announces that  Cernavoda NPP Unit 1 was shut down in a controlled manner during the morning of March 25th 2018, 09:20 hours.

The decision to shut down Unit 1 in a controlled manner was determined by the occurrence of a defect at one of the process systems of the power plant, and the actions imposed in compliance with the design of the power plant require a controlled shut down.
