BREAKING Debitul Dunării, la un minim istoric. Centrala de la Cernavodă, în procedură de oprire • Newsweek România

The Danube River's water level has reached a historic low, prompting the imminent shutdown of Unit 2 at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant. Officials report that the water level has dropped to -230 cm, necessitating the closure within 48 hours. The situation is exacerbated by a lack of rainfall in the Danube basin, with no improvements expected in the coming weeks. Efforts to increase water flow have been hindered by sediment buildup, redirecting the water flow away from the power plant. The government has allocated funds for urgent dredging operations to address critical areas along the river.
