Pavel Casian Nițulescu from the Ministry of Energy discussed the accidental shutdown of Unit 1 at Cernavodă, attributing it to a technical failure. Investigations are underway to determine if human negligence played a role. Repairs are ongoing, with hopes to restore both reactors within 24-48 hours to stabilize energy supply. Unit 1 was disconnected from the national grid shortly after being restarted following a three-month shutdown due to drought conditions affecting cooling water supply. The two reactors typically contribute about 20% of Romania's electricity production.
