Criza energetică scoate la iveală bomba administrativă de la Cernavodă: reactoarele au funcționat fără autorizație
Romania is facing a severe energy crisis, with the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant struggling due to low Danube water levels. Unit 1 has been shut down, and Unit 2's shutdown is imminent. The water management authorization expired on June 30, 2026, and the new document outlining water usage conditions is missing from public records. This raises concerns about the plant's operational legality and safety, as the authorization is crucial for reactor cooling and energy production. Nuclearelectrica has confirmed that Unit 2 remains operational temporarily, but the situation is precarious, depending on water levels. The lack of transparency regarding the new authorization is alarming, especially given the national energy security implications.
