Romania shuts only nuclear plant as Danube hits record low

Romania shuts only nuclear plant as Danube hits record low

Romania shut down its only nuclear power plant, Cernavodă, due to extremely low Danube River levels caused by prolonged heat. The plant, which supplies 20% of the country's electricity, won't restart within 10 days. Hungary's Paks plant faces similar risks, while Europe grapples with heatwaves and wildfires.
