Estimarea de cost a proiectului nuclear SMR de la Doiceşti era în 2025 cu 3,8 miliarde dolari mai mult faţă de cea iniţială (raport)

The cost estimate for the SMR project at Doicești has risen to $6.5 billion by December 2025, an increase of $3.8 billion from the initial estimate. This conclusion comes from a report by the Prime Minister's Control Body following an audit of Nuclearelectrica. The project is facing delays, with the FEED 2 stage completed 20 months behind schedule. The site selection process lacked a comparative analysis of technical and economic advantages. Additionally, the partnership with Nova Power & Gas was established without proper evaluation of compliance with European regulations. The report highlights a lack of risk assessment and monitoring systems, raising concerns about the project's financial management and decision-making processes.
