Danube water drop closes Romania's sole nuclear plant
Romanian company Nuklear Electrica announced the suspension of Unit Two at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant due to a decline in the water level of the Danube River. This is the first such interruption since the heatwave of 2003. The Danube is a primary cooling source for the plant, which supplies about 20% of Romania's electricity. Hot weather and a lack of rainfall have caused a sharp drop in the river’s water levels, forcing the reactor to shut down. The government indicates that alternative sources such as wind power and imports will be used to meet the country’s electricity needs, emphasizing the importance of energy conservation.
