Romania Turns to Small Modular Reactors With US to Achieve Energy Independence
9th April 2025
Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine exposed the harsh reality that energy dependence can pose a threat to national security. For too long, Romania, like much of Europe, has relied on imported Russian fossil fuels, leaving families and businesses vulnerable to geopolitical manipulation. If Romania is to secure its future, it must cut its reliance on unstable suppliers and invest in domestic energy.
A solution for achieving energy independence? Nuclear energy. Specifically, small modular reactors. These reactors are currently developed in partnership with the United States as a clean, scalable, and safe source of energy.
Romania can benefit from safe, sustainable power generation, strengthen its economy, and attain true energy independence with America’s innovative assistance and technology.
Perhaps if enough desperate small countries try SMRs, and they work, the sclerotic energy establishment in the U.S. will get a clue and reduce the regulatory burden sufficiently for them to take hold in this country as well.
We can only hope.
