A nuclear meltdown will reduce the reactor's power to 80 percent.
The Krško Nuclear Power Plant plans to reduce reactor power to 80% due to environmental conditions related to the Savica River's temperature limits set by environmental permits. These regulations require that the average daily temperature of the river at the point of complete mixing under the Brežice Hydroelectric Power Plant does not exceed 28 degrees Celsius, and the average daily temperature increase does not surpass three degrees Celsius. In recent months, high temperatures have forced the plant to operate at full capacity using cooling towers and other systems to manage heat load. The plant last operated at reduced power in 2003, when power reduction was needed for over 90 days. If current conditions persist or worsen, further reductions in reactor power may occur. Slovenia’s electricity system is connected to the European grid and is designed to handle potential outages at Krško.

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy in Slovenia confirmed that there is currently sufficient electricity supply in the country, despite high temperatures. The Slovenian electrical energy system is part of the European grid and benefits from domestic production sources, ensuring reliable supply. Nuclear power plant Krško (NEK) continues to operate at full capacity, contributing around 50% of daily local electricity production, while solar and hydroelectric plants contribute the rest. High temperatures have raised concerns about NEK’s operation, but the plant remains operational. Officials emphasized that NEK is a critical component of Slovenia’s energy stability and that they maintain close contact with relevant institutions. NEK’s director, Gorazd Pfeifer, noted that shutdown would take several days under extreme conditions, and restarting would require one to two days.

The Krška Nuclear Power Plant in Slovenia has announced plans to gradually reduce reactor power starting overnight on Thursday, August 6, 2026, due to exceptional hydrological and meteorological conditions on the Sava River. The reduction will begin by lowering power to 80% in the first phase. This temporary measure is necessary to comply with environmental agreement (OVS) regulations, which set limits on daily average water temperatures and temperature increases in the river at the complete mixing point downstream of the plant. In recent months, the plant has operated at full capacity using cooling towers and all available systems to reduce thermal load on the river.

The article discusses the challenges faced by the Krško Nuclear Power Plant (Nek) due to high temperatures and low water flow in the Sava River. The plant operates under strict environmental regulations that limit the temperature of the river at specific points. Currently, the water temperature is 24.8°C, with a daily increase of 2.8°C, which is below the critical thresholds. However, if conditions worsen, Nek may need to reduce reactor power or even temporarily shut down operations. The plant uses additional cooling towers to comply with regulations but faces reduced efficiency due to increased energy consumption for cooling and lower thermal efficiency.

The Krško Nuclear Power Plant (NEK) in Slovenia has decided to reduce its power output by one-fifth due to environmental regulations related to the temperature and flow rate of the Sava River. This decision was prompted by a prolonged drought, which has significantly lowered the river's water level and increased its temperature. The plant produces around 61% of Slovenia's electricity daily, but under the environmental permit, the average daily temperature of the Sava River at Brežice must not exceed 28°C, and the daily temperature increase must not surpass three degrees. To comply with these conditions, the plant will gradually decrease its reactor power starting during the night of Wednesday to Thursday. The reduction is described as a planned and monitored temporary measure, and further reductions could occur if hydrological conditions remain unfavorable. The last time the reactor operated at reduced capacity was over 90 days more than two decades ago.

The Krško Nuclear Power Plant (NEK) has informed relevant authorities that due to environmental restrictions related to the Danube River (Save), it may need to reduce reactor power or potentially halt operations entirely. The plant currently operates at full capacity but uses cooling towers to comply with environmental regulations. These regulations require that the average daily temperature of the Danube at the Hydroelectric Power Plant Brežice does not exceed 28°C, and the daily temperature increase of river water does not surpass 3°C. Current measurements show the Danube's temperature at 24.6°C with a daily rise of 2.6°C. However, if conditions worsen, the plant could face operational challenges, including potential shutdowns.

Hydroelectric power plants on the Drava, Soča, and lower Sava rivers have produced significantly less electricity this July compared to last year and the five-year average, according to Holding Slovenske elektrarne (HSE). Production has dropped by 39% compared to July 2025 and by 52% compared to the five-year average. This decline is attributed to poor hydrological conditions, which have worsened throughout the year. The Agency for Environment and Space (Arso) reported that river flows across the country are currently low and continue to decrease slowly. Several rivers, including the Mura, Drava, Sava, Ljubljanica, Krka, Soča, and Kolpa in the upper reaches, have exceptionally low water levels for this time of year. Arso also predicted the start of a new heatwave, with temperatures expected to peak between July 31 and August 6.
