Edwards\n \n , President and CEO of SNC-Lavalin.\n \n \n This contract follows the signing of an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between\n \n Romania\n \n and\n \n the United States\n \n in 2020, as well as a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in\n \n August 2021\n \n between\n \n Romania\n \n and\n \n Canada\n \n to strengthen and further develop the cooperation in nuclear energy civil projects and builds on the 55-year relationship between the two countries in developing nuclear projects.\n \n \n \"We are pleased to expand our relationship with\n \n Romania\n \n , Societatea Nationala Nuclearelectrica (SNN), EnergoNuclear S.A. and our US partners for this potential new build project.\n \n Romania\n \n is familiar with CANDU technology since its first two CANDU units came online in 1996 and 2007 and have been providing reliable power ever since,\" said\n \n Sandy Taylor\n \n , President, Nuclear. \"Expanding their nuclear footprint would help\n \n Romania\n \n meet its net zero carbon commitments.\"\n \n \n \n \n About SNC-Lavalin\n \n \n \n \n Founded in 1911, SNC-Lavalin is a fully integrated professional services and project management company with offices around the world dedicated to engi...
