Bolojan: Cernavodă mai poate funcționa doar 4-5 zile dacă Dunărea continuă să scadă • Newsweek România

Interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan warns that the Cernavodă nuclear power plant can only operate for 4-5 more days if the Danube continues to drop. Authorities are taking measures to manage water levels, including blasting rocks to increase flow. A long-stalled pumping station project could have alleviated the situation but remains unimplemented. The Danube's low levels are critical for cooling the plant, especially as Unit 1 is offline and reliance on Unit 2 increases. The government has declared an energy alert, urging reduced consumption to avoid deficits.
