Danube low levels halt Hungarian nuclear plant
The Danube River has reached its lowest water levels in 30 years, causing Hungary's only nuclear power plant to shut down because its cooling system cannot operate with the reduced water flow. This shutdown, combined with a heatwave, risks creating critical energy shortages, prompting authorities to advise limiting energy use during peak hours. Similar low water levels have also affected Romania’s nuclear plant and caused significant disruptions to river traffic and shipping across multiple countries along the Danube, highlighting the impact of record heat and drought conditions linked to climate change.
