Bulgarii fac dig de 300 metri pe Dunăre

Bulgaria is constructing a 300-meter dam on the Danube to protect the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant amid low water levels. Energy Minister Iva Petrova stated there are currently no risks to energy supply or system stability, despite the extreme situation. Unit 5 is operating at reduced capacity due to low water levels and algae issues. The dam's construction follows extensive analysis and is expected to take 10-15 days. The project may impact water flow and sedimentation, necessitating careful monitoring by Romanian authorities. The low Danube levels also affect Romania's navigation and energy sectors, highlighting the need for cross-border water management strategies.
