Romania Electrical Engineering
Nearly half of Romania's electricity output was
generated by
Soviet equipment, and the Piatra Neamt nuclear plant, the
construction of which began in 1986, was expected to use
mostly
Soviet-supplied components. It was not until 1970 that
domestic
industry was able to manufacture steam turbines larger
than 6
megawatts, but by the 1980s Romania was producing
330-megawatt
steam turbines, hydraulic turbines of all sizes, boilers,
nuclear
reactor components, transformers, and other
power-engineering
equipment. By then Romania had become the largest foreign
supplier
of electric power transformers to the Soviet Union. The
major
power-engineering plants included the Bucharest Heavy
Machinery
Plant, the Resita Machine-Building Plant, and the Vulcan
enterprise in Bucharest.
