Reactorul 2 de la Cernavodă va fi repus în funcțiune marți / Oprirea centralei nucleare a cauzat pierderi de 1 miliard de lei

Reactor 2 at Cernavodă will resume operations on Tuesday after being offline since mid-August, causing significant financial losses. Nuclearelectrica initiated the restart process early Monday, following the recent return of Reactor 1. Both reactors, each with a capacity of 700 MW, contribute to about 20% of Romania's electricity production. The shutdown was due to low water levels in the Danube. Prime Minister Luca Niculescu highlighted the importance of these reactors for Romania's energy security, especially during peak demand periods. Over the weekend, Romania exported substantial energy, aided by high wind and solar production.
