Reuters: Măsură fără precedent în România care subliniază amploarea crizei energetice

Romanian military detonated a rock to redirect water to the Cernavodă nuclear power plant amid an energy crisis. This unprecedented measure highlights the severity of the regional energy situation. The operation involved over 100 soldiers and aims to build a temporary dam to increase water flow to the Danube, which is experiencing historic low levels due to extreme heat and drought. Both Romania and Hungary face reduced nuclear power production, increasing pressure on national power grids. The Romanian government has declared a national alert in the energy sector, urging energy consumption reductions.
