Romania will proactively shut down one of its nuclear reactors in Cernavodă due to historically low water levels in the Danube River. The decision, announced by the Romanian Ministry of Energy, aims to protect the reactor's cooling system from potential damage. The Danube’s low water level poses a risk to the reactor's ability to adequately cool its core. This is a preventative measure to ensure the safety and continued operation of the plant in the long term. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and will reassess operations as water levels change. The shutdown will not affect the country’s overall energy supply, as another reactor remains operational.
