Romanian Army Responds to Danube Drop Risking Nuke Plant
The article focused on the efforts of the Romanian authorities to address the declining water levels of the Danube River, which threaten the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant, fully reliant on the river for cooling. After previous attempts failed, the military blew up a rock in one of the river's tributaries to increase water flow, as this operation is expected to improve water levels and prevent the plant's shutdown. The plant produces about 20% of Romania's electricity, and one of its reactors was shut down last week due to water shortages. If these measures fail, the plant may have to be completely closed, amid forecasts of further water level drops in the coming days.
