Nuclear power plants in Hungary and Romania are reducing electricity production due to historically low water levels in the Danube River. The declining river flow is impacting cooling systems crucial for operations, potentially leading to complete shutdowns. Hungary’s Paks nuclear plant has already begun reducing output, mirroring actions taken by Romanian facilities. Nuclearelectrica halted Reactor 1 earlier this week as a precautionary measure. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, but further reductions or closures are anticipated if water levels continue to drop. The unprecedented low levels highlight the impact of potential drought conditions on critical infrastructure. This situation raises concerns about energy supply stability in the region.
