Minister-delegate for Energy requests CSAT decision on future of Public Corporation for Nuclear Activities
Minister-delegate for Energy Razvan Nicolescu asked Prime Minister Victor Ponta and Deputy Prime Minister Gabriel Oprea to submit to the attention of the Supreme Council for National Defence (CSAT) the latest decisions on the future of the Public Corporation for Nuclear Activities (RAAN), which is a company of strategic interest.
\\\'We developed a plan of action aimed at streamlining and restructuring RAAN, and a plan ahead; we will send the documents today or tomorrow to Prime Minister Victor Ponta and Deputy Premier Gabriel Oprea, who coordinates everything that means national security issues, because RAAN is a company of strategic interest. For this reason, we believe CSAT needs to discuss the future of this company. We therefore send this note accompanied by our suggestions on RAAN, with the request to submit them to the attention of CSAT,\\\' Nicolescu on Tuesday told a press conference.
He specified that this document is confidential, but pointed out that it is based on suggestions received from trade unions.
\\\'At this point, the control body of the Minister of Energy is conducting an additional check with RAAN, which we want to complete by end of the week,\\\' he said.
Earlier during the same conference, Nicolescu had announced that he sacked RAAN receiver Danut Andrusca because of the increasingly worse situation of the company, having appointed Termoelectrica former director Viorel Marian in his place.
RAAN has been in insolvency since September 2013.
RAAN is a national public corporation of strategic interest set up in 1998, having as main activity the production of heavy water and related products. RAAN also produces thermal energy for its own use and for the supply of households and industrial consumers in the city of Drobeta Turnu Severin (south- west).
