Bolojan anunță soluția pentru Cernavodă: proiectul Bala 2, deblocat după oprirea ambelor reactoare • Newsweek România

Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan announced the acceleration of the Bala II project to increase water levels in the Dunărea Veche, ensuring cooling for Cernavodă reactors. This decision follows the shutdown of Unit 2 due to low river levels. Aiming to restore navigation and environmental conditions, the project includes hydrotechnical works and dredging. Bolojan emphasized the need for long-term energy solutions, as current measures are insufficient. The project is expected to take around three years if funded and prioritized, with potential benefits for future reactors as well. The situation highlights the importance of timely investments in energy infrastructure.
