Romania shuts its sole nuclear plant due to Danube drought
Unit Two at the Chernivodа Nuclear Power Plant in Romania has been shut down due to a low water level in the Danube River, resulting from an unprecedented heatwave and reduced rainfall. This is the first such outage since 2003. The closure comes amid reliance on the river water to cool the reactors. The government has announced the use of alternative energy sources such as wind power and imports to meet the country's electricity needs, while emphasizing the importance of responsible consumption. The government has not yet specified a date for restarting the plant.
