Cernavoda

Cernavoda (meaning Black Water, in Bulgarian) was founded (under the name Axiopolis) by the ancient Greeks in the 4th century BC as a trading post for contacts with local Dacians. The Constanţa - Cernavodă railroad was opened in 1860 by the Ottoman administration. In 1895, the King Carol I Bridge was built across the Danube. The town gives its name to the late copper age Cernavodă archaeological culture, ca. 4000—3200 BC. The town is a Danube fluvial port, and it houses the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant, consisting of two CANDU reactors providing about 20% of Romania's electrical energy output. The second reactor was built through a joint venture between Canada's Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and Italy's ANSALDO and become fully functional in November 2007. The Danube-Black Sea Canal, opened in 1984, runs from Cernavodă to Agigea and Năvodari.

    Dupa inchiderea cai ferate Cernavoda Oras- Saligny Est, gara Cernavoda Pod ramane singura gara a orasului Cernavoda, fiind necesara constructia acestui pod pentru accesul direct la ea!

    La data de 10 iulie 1955 se constituie „Comitetul pentru energie nucleara din Romania”, de pe langa Consiliul de ministri. In 1957, la Institutul de fizica nucleara de la Magurele (langa Bucuresti) este pus in functiune primul reactor atomic experimental din Romania, importat din URSS. In 1971 apare planul de constructie a centralei nuclearelectrice de la Cernavoda, prima din Romania. In 1976 este finalizat studiul de fezabilitate pentru aceasta centrala, cu reactoare atomice canadiene „CANDU”. Romania a fost singura tara socialista care nu a utilizat reactoare atomice sovietice „VVR”. In decembrie 1978 se incheie contractul pentru constructia centralei nuclearelectrice Cernavoda, intre firmele „Romenergo” (Romania) si „AECL” (Canada), pentru preluarea licentei reactoarelor atomice „CANDU”, proiectarea si procurarea echipamentelor specifice partii nucleare a unitatii 1. La 1 iulie 1982 incep lucrarile la unitatea 1 a centralei nuclearelectrice Cernavoda, urmate de cele de la unitatea 2 (1 iulie 1983), unitatea 3 (1 ianuarie 1984), unitatea 4 (1 ianuarie 1985) si unitatea 5 (1 ianuarie 1986). In 1989 unitatea 1 a centralei nuclearelectrice Cernavoda era construita in proportie de 45 %. La data de 2 decembrie 1996 unitatea 1 a centralei nuclearelectrice Cernavoda intra in exploadare comerciala, fiind racordata la sistemul energetic national. La 5 octombrie 2007 unitatea 2 este conectata la sistemul energetic national. Puterea instalata a unei unitati este de 706 MW. Proiectul prevede constructia a 5 unitati la centrala nuclearelectrica Cernavoda, cu o putere instalata totala de 3530 MW, care vor produce cca 50-60% din necesarul de energie electrica a Romaniei. Unitatile 3 si 4 sunt in constructie. Unitatea 3 urmeaza sa intre in exploadare comerciala in 2014, iar unitatea 4 in 2015. Apa grea (folosita ca moderator in reactoarele atomice de la Cernavoda) este produsa la „Romag Prod Drobeta-Turnu-Severin”. Productia de apa grea a inceput in iulie 1988, capacitatea de productie fiind de 360 tone/an. Combustibilul nuclear necesar centralei nuclearelectrice Cernavoda este produs la „Fabrica de Combustibil Nuclear FCN Pitesti”.

    Penny Market Cernavoda Town don't have hand basket for clients, only big one for cars. That for I can't buy to much one time to Penny Market. I want when I come to Penny Market next time, to have the option for hand baskets too. Thank you very much. Dan
