This implies that the project as it was planned can not continue; the company said that it will reassess the SMR technologies and decide accordingly.
It concluded that there currently exist premises for the initiation of steps to update the SMR Implementation Strategy in Romania, “for which we continue to appreciate the openness of the American partners."
