Risc de închidere la Kozlodui: Dunărea a scăzut alarmant

The water level of the Danube has dropped significantly in Bulgaria, raising concerns about navigation and the Kozloduy nuclear power plant's cooling system. Recent measurements show alarming low levels, with some areas recording over 300 cm below normal. The situation has led to navigation restrictions and potential operational issues for the nuclear plant, which relies on the river for cooling. Experts warn that further decreases could force the plant to shut down, as the water level approaches critical thresholds. Historical data suggests that low levels may persist until mid-October, leaving the situation uncertain.
