Reactoarele 1 și 2 de la Cernavodă rămân oprite: nivelul Dunării este aproape de critic

The prolonged shutdown of Cernavodă's reactors is impacting the energy market, but authorities assure there is no risk to the public. Reactors 1 and 2 will remain offline for at least another ten days due to low water levels in the Danube. Energy Secretary Cristian Bușoi stated that while the energy deficit is felt in the market, price increases are not expected to exceed 20%. He emphasized the importance of safely restarting the reactors and dismissed any nuclear incident scenarios, assuring that safety measures are in place. The shutdown affects about 20% of the national electricity supply, and authorities are focused on a secure restart without endangering public safety.
