Operaţiunea de scufundare a barjelor în Dunăre va fi reluată astăzi de la 15:00, după 2 amânări

The operation to sink four barges in the Danube will resume today at 3 PM after two delays due to strong currents and bureaucratic issues. The first barge will be submerged after loading at noon, with the sinking taking place 1 km downstream where currents are weaker. Previous attempts faced challenges, including insufficient materials and strong currents, raising safety concerns. Bureaucratic hurdles also delayed the process, as the necessary approvals were not secured. The plan involves anchoring the barges to prevent them from being swept away, with additional measures being considered to enhance stability. Without these actions, the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant may face shutdown due to drought conditions, impacting Romania's energy production.
