Oficial: Centrala nucleară cu reactoare mici modulare (SMR) de la Doicești costă cel puțin 6,5 miliarde de euro - Economica.net

The cost estimate for the SMR project in Doicești has risen to $6.5 billion, significantly exceeding initial projections. A report from the Prime Minister's Control Body highlights delays in project phases and concerns over the selection process for the project's private partner. The report indicates that the decision-making process lacked a thorough comparative evaluation of potential private entities, leading to an imbalanced distribution of risks and responsibilities between the public and private partners. Additionally, the report notes that the financial oversight of project expenses was inadequate, raising questions about compliance with market regulations and the transparency of the acquisition process.
