The recent heatwave in Central and Eastern Europe has led to historically low water levels in the Danube and Rhine rivers, severely impacting river transport and energy production. Hungary and Romania have taken unprecedented measures, including shutting down nuclear reactors that rely on river water for cooling. Hungary's Paks nuclear plant has reduced its output significantly, with warnings of a complete shutdown due to low water levels. Romania's Cernavodă plant also faced safety-related shutdowns. The low water levels have revealed historical artifacts and disrupted fishing and navigation, causing economic challenges in the region.
