Romania Loses a Fifth of Its Power as Danube Starves Nuclear Plant
Both 706 MW Cernavoda reactors shut over record-low Danube water, wiping out about a fifth of national power and forcing Romania to lean on imports.
Wat we eerst wisten
- Unit 1 shut 28 July amid unprecedentedly low Danube water.
- Unit 2 power cut from 8:00 AM, grid exit from 11:00 AM on 13 August.
- Cernavoda cooling water comes entirely from the Danube.
- Romania must import more electricity while both units are down.
Toen nog open
- No firm public restart date is established in the available sources.
- No verified basin-wide flow statistics or first-since date are established in the provided sources.
Waar we op zouden letten
- Whether Danube levels recover enough to allow safe restart.
- How Romania covers about a fifth of supply if heat and low water persist.
