Scufundarea barjelor ridică nivelul Dunării: Unitatea 2 de la Cernavodă ar mai rezista încă 9 zile

The Romanian government redirected Danube water to Cernavodă, resulting in a four-centimeter rise in water levels and extending the operation of Unit 2 by at least nine days. This intervention, involving multiple institutions, exceeded initial forecasts, which predicted a decrease. The operation aimed to ensure the nuclear plant's functionality amid severe drought conditions, as Unit 1 had been shut down due to low water levels. The government allocated 7 million lei for this effort, crucial for maintaining national energy supply.
