Description

An 18 cm diameter ceramic plate produced to commemorate the start-up of CANDU-6 reactor unit 1 at Cernovoda, Romania, in 1996.  The reactor was built as a joint Canadian-Italian-Romanian project.  This reactor was planned to be the first of five units at Cernovoda.  As of 2019, only the first two units are operational due to the uncertain financial situation in Romania.  This memento was presented to Frederick Goddyn, who was part of the AECL team involved in the construction of the reactor.
