Index.hrIndependentCenterFactual 95Objective 9810 days ago Romania shuts down only active nuclear reactor due to record low DanubeRomania's state-owned nuclear energy company, Nuclearelectrica, has begun the process of shutting down its only operational reactor due to record-low levels of the Danube River. This follows earlier measures taken in late July when drought conditions forced the closure of another reactor at the Cernavoda plant. The two reactors at Cernavoda account for a fifth of Romania's electricity production. In response to the energy crisis, the government has activated a coal-fired power plant, increased wind and hydroelectric generation, and coordinated cross-border energy imports to compensate for the shortfall. Unprecedented measures were considered to prevent reactor shutdowns, including detonating barriers, dredging the river, and submerging rock-filled barges to redirect water flow around the plant. Europe faced extreme heatwaves and wildfires this summer, creating significant pressure on energy supply systems.

Hungary restarts one of the turbinesMađarska je ponovno uključila jednu turbinu nuklearne elektrane Paks nakon što je vodostaj Dunava porastao nakon dugog perioda suše. Tijekom produljenog toplinskog vala, vodostaj Dunava dospijeo je na rekordno niske razine, što je znatno smanjilo sposobnost elektrane za proizvodnju električne energije. Elektrana je radila na samo 10 posto svojeg kapaciteta, a samo jedna od osam turbina je bila uključena. Suše su imale široak uticaj na proizvodnju električne energije, brodarstvo i javno zdravstvo u Europi, uz ukupnu štetu od više stotina milijardi eura. Premijer Peter Magyar je objavio da će druga turbina početi proizvoditi energiju navečer, a ističe potrebu za dugoročnim rješenjima uključujući reviziju planiranog proširenja elektrane. Vlada također planira diverzifikaciju opskrbe energijom kroz gradnju vjetroelektrana.

Romania could shut down a nuclear reactor due to falling Danube water levelsRumunjska državna tvrtka Nuclearelectrica razmatra isključivanje posljednjeg aktivnog nuklearnog reaktora zbog rekordno niske razine vodostaja Dunava. U srpnju je već isključen jedan reaktor, koji osigurava petinu električne energije zemlje. Preko raznih mjera, uključujući miniranje stijeni i potapanje teglenica, pokušavaju se usmjeriti tok vode prema elektrani. Ravnatelj državne agencije za upravljanje vodama naveo je da je isključenje 'neizbježno'. Susjedna Mađarska je počela ponovno koristiti jednu turbinu nuklearne elektrane Paks nakon porasta vodostaja. Europa je ove godine pogođena rekordnim vrućinama i požarima, što utjecalo na proizvodnju električne energije i druge sektore.

Romania's resorting to extreme measures over the Danube's water level, now threatening to extinguish a new dangerThe article reports on the severe drought conditions affecting the Danube River, leading to unprecedented low water levels in Romania. The state-owned nuclear power company Nuclearelectrica has been forced to shut down one of its two operational reactors due to critically low river levels, which are impacting cooling processes. Efforts to redirect water flow toward the nuclear plant include mining rock along the riverbank, dredging the riverbed, and deploying weighted chains to alter the current. Despite these measures, the situation remains dire, with the river reaching record-low flows of 1,370 cubic meters per second at the Romanian border. The country has declared an energy emergency and requested voluntary reductions in water usage during evening hours. Neighboring Hungary has begun using a turbine at its nuclear plant Paks following increased river levels, but rainfall upstream has had little effect on Romania. The article notes that Europe has experienced record-breaking heatwaves and wildfires this summer, negatively impacting electricity production, shipping, and public health systems.

tportalIndependentCenterFactual 40Objective 6012 days ago Alarm in Romania: Shutdown of the last nuclear reactor is imminentRomania is facing a critical energy crisis due to record-low water levels in the Danube River, which has forced the shutdown of its last nuclear reactor at Cernavoda. The country had already shut down one of two reactors earlier in August because of low water levels, and now the second reactor must also be stopped, as the river’s flow has dropped to a historic low of 1370 cubic meters per second at the point where it enters Romania. To prevent further damage, authorities have resorted to extreme measures such as mining rocks in the riverbed and using sandbags to redirect water flow toward the nuclear plant. Romania has declared an exceptional energy situation and urged households and businesses to voluntarily reduce water usage during peak hours. Meanwhile, neighboring Hungary has begun operating a turbine at its Paks nuclear power plant after recent rainfall increased Danube water levels. However, upstream rains have not improved conditions for Romania, which is the last country along the Danube before it flows into the Black Sea.
