Romania faced a financial loss of approximately 200 million euros over three months due to the shutdown of the Cernavoda nuclear power plant caused by low Danube water levels. Prime Minister Luca Niculescu announced this during a visit to the facility, where he confirmed that Unit 1 was reconnected to the national electricity grid. The shutdown began in late July when the first reactor was halted, followed by Unit 2 in mid-August due to insufficient cooling water. The government emphasized the need for the Bala 2 hydrotechnical project to ensure adequate water supply for the plant's operations and future nuclear projects. Discussions also focused on the plant's operational resumption and essential development projects for the nuclear sector.
