Situație critică la Cernavodă: Reactorul 2 ar putea fi oprit joi, după ce nivelul Dunării a coborât la pragul-limită

Unit 2 of the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant may be shut down due to low Danube water levels, following the already halted Unit 1. Nuclearelectrica announced a potential controlled shutdown on August 13, 2026, as the Danube reached a critical level of -230 cm. The situation is monitored continuously, and if the shutdown becomes imminent, public announcements will be made. The Danube's water level has dropped further, affecting the plant's operations, and estimates suggest that if Unit 2 is shut down, it could remain offline for at least two weeks due to persistently low water flow. Recent interventions to increase water levels have not been sufficient to prevent this outcome.
