Ungaria avertizează că ar putea opri complet centrala nucleară Paks în următoarele 24-72 de ore
The historic drought and low Danube levels threaten energy security in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly affecting Hungary's Paks nuclear plant. The plant may need to shut down all reactors within 24-72 hours due to insufficient water levels for cooling. Current Danube levels are significantly below historical lows, attributed to upstream modifications and climate change. Romania's Cernavodă plant also faced critical conditions but managed to maintain operations for now. The situation remains volatile, with potential impacts on energy production across the region, especially for Romania, which relies on imports if domestic production declines.
