Romania shuts sole nuclear plant over low Danube water
Romania announced today the organized shutdown of its only nuclear unit at the Cernavodă Power Plant after the Danube River level dropped to a record low due to an unprecedented drought and reduced rainfall across Europe this year. The decline in water levels used for cooling the plant has led to a sharp decrease in electricity production. It is expected that alternative sources such as wind energy and imports will cover the country's electricity needs, alongside calls for responsible consumption. This was the first shutdown of the plant since the major drought of 2003.
