It said the unit, which was shut at 0620 GMT, would be restarted as soon as works are completed. "We estimate the halt will last for about 48 hours," it said.

The firm has two 706 megawatt reactors at Cernavoda in southeastern Romania, accounting for roughly a fifth of the country's power production.
