Dunărea atinge niveluri critice în Bulgaria. Centrala nucleară Kozlodui ar putea fi oprită dacă apa mai scade cu 20 de centimetri

The Danube River is reaching critical levels in Bulgaria, potentially affecting the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant's operations. A decrease of 20-30 centimeters could necessitate a shutdown. Current measurements show significant drops in water levels across various monitoring stations, with some reporting levels below zero. The low water levels are already impacting navigation, leading to restrictions in certain areas. Additionally, high temperatures and drought are exacerbating the situation. Experts warn that if water levels drop further, the plant may need to halt operations to prevent damage to its cooling pumps. However, forecasts suggest that critical levels may not be reached in the next two weeks.
