Nuclearelectrica: Reactorul 2 de la Cernavodă ar putea fi oprit joi, 13 august

Nuclearelectrica announced that Unit 2 of the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant may be shut down on August 13, 2026, due to low Danube water levels. The company is monitoring the situation closely and will provide updates if the shutdown becomes necessary. The Danube has reached a critical low, impacting operational conditions for the reactor. The director of the National Administration 'Apele Române' indicated that the river's flow is significantly below average, leading to an imminent shutdown within 1-2 days. Current forecasts suggest a challenging period ahead with little precipitation expected.
