Reactoarele 3 și 4 de la Cernavodă nu pot fi construite în viitorul apropiat. Bogdan Ivan: Trebuie asigurată apa necesară răcirii pentru următorii 30 de ani

Former Energy Minister Bogdan Ivan emphasized the need for sustainable water solutions for the Cernavodă Reactors 3 and 4 project, addressing the declining Danube river flow. He stated that construction cannot proceed until this issue is resolved. The current situation at Cernavodă is critical, with Unit 1 already offline and Unit 2 facing potential shutdown. Ivan highlighted the importance of ensuring a long-term water supply for both the modernization of Unit 1 and the new reactors, with investments estimated at nearly $10 billion. Proposed solutions include upgrading water intake systems and creating new cooling basins to secure water reserves during critical periods.
