Reactorul 1 de la Cernavodă va fi oprit. Comandamentul Energetic, convocat de urgenţă

Nuclearelectrica announced the controlled shutdown of Unit 1 at the Cernavodă nuclear power plant due to low water levels in the Danube, a preventive measure to protect cooling pumps. The Energy Ministry confirmed that this decision will not affect consumers or lead to higher prices. The shutdown is set for July 28, 2026, and will last at least until August 4, 2026. The Danube's water levels have reached a historic low, prompting the need for this action to ensure nuclear safety. The situation is being closely monitored, and a statement will be issued upon reconnection to the national grid.
