Reactoarele de la Cernavodă rămân oprite: debitul apei încă nu este suficient pentru repornire

The Cernavodă nuclear power plant remains offline as authorities await an increase in the Danube's water flow. Romania is compensating for the energy deficit through imports and alternative sources. Reactors at Cernavodă will not restart in September, with a potential reopening only in mid-October, depending on water levels. The plant was completely disconnected from the national grid on August 13 due to low water levels affecting safety. The government allocated funds for urgent dredging to ensure the plant's operation amid severe drought. Despite relying on imports, renewable sources have played a crucial role in energy production during this period.
