Romania demolishes Danube rock to protect Chernobyl
Romania and Hungary are facing a severe energy crisis due to the decreasing water levels of the Danube River, which has led to the partial shutdown of nuclear power plants dependent on river water for cooling, including Romania's Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant and Hungary's Paks Plant. Romanian forces used 180 kilograms of explosives to dislodge a large rock in the river in an effort to maintain the necessary water flow to operate the nuclear reactors. However, water levels continue to fall beyond expectations of a quick rise, increasing the risk of a complete shutdown of the plants and power supply lines in the region. As a result, a state of emergency has been declared in both countries, with expectations that the crisis will worsen amidst ongoing drought and environmental deterioration. Low water levels have revealed historical artifacts, shipwreck remains, and prehistoric bones at the riverbed.
