11 instituţii au decis să construiască un dig scurt de piatră care să menţină cota Dunării pentru răcirea centralei de la Cernavodă

The Romanian government plans to build a short stone dam at Cernavodă to direct water towards the deeper part of the Danube, aiding navigation and preventing sedimentation. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to address low water levels affecting the cooling system of the Cernavodă nuclear power plant. The project involves collaboration among various governmental and academic institutions, with solutions to be implemented in phases. A temporary test structure is currently in place to assess the effectiveness of the proposed dam, which aims to stabilize water flow and protect dredged areas. Additional measures include the potential use of inflatable barriers to maintain necessary water levels for cooling operations.
