Romania joined a group of EU nuclear power states in a letter to the bloc’s leaders published in leading European newspapers on October 11, reported bneIntellNews.

Nuclear energy is an affordable and reliable source of energy, which the EU must recognise on a par with other low-carbon sources, wrote officials from Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Finland, France, Hungary, Slovenia and nuclear wannabe Poland.

The status of nuclear power in the EU’s decarbonisation drive remains subject to a fierce debate centering on whether the technology should be given support within the so-called “green taxonomy”, a legal framework facilitating environmentally and climate-friendly investment.
