Dunărea la Cernavodă, la doar 3 cm de limita pentru răcirea centralei. Măsuri de urgență

Romania's National Administration "Apele Române" is increasing the water discharge from the Iezer reservoir by 20 cubic meters per second from October 10 to 18 due to low Danube levels. The water level at Cernavodă is dangerously close to the operational limit for cooling water supply to the nuclear power plant. This measure aims to ensure safe operation of the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant, which has been offline due to severe drought conditions. The plant typically provides about 20% of Romania's electricity and is crucial for heating in Cernavodă. This situation marks a historic precedent as both reactors were voluntarily shut down due to drought for the first time.
