From the publication:
The report shows that Euratom Loans in Eastern Europe are not being used for the purpose proposed, namely to increase safety in Eastern Europe, but rather to help expand the nuclear sector in Eastern Europe. The only loan under active development is for the completion of the Cernavoda 2 reactor in Romanian, which is a Canadian designed reactor, being built by firms from Canada and Italy. Furthermore, the report shows that in all but one case, the upgrading of the Soviet designed reactors in Accession countries has been undertaken without funding from Euratom. Therefore, the loan facility is not necessary to carry out the proposed safety programs.
