Insights by Echo AI
Romania has shut down both of its nuclear reactors at the Cernavodă power plant due to critically low water levels in the Danube River, caused by extreme drought. The reactors, which produce around 20% of the country's electricity, use river water for cooling. The shutdown is a preventive measure to protect the cooling systems and ensure nuclear safety. The government has called for voluntary power savings and is considering starting gas power plants and importing electricity to meet demand.
