🇷🇴 Romania Saves Nuclear Plant from Shutdown: Explosions, Sunk Barges, and Imported Energy 🔥 Record heat and drought in Europe led to a critical drop in the Danube's level. Romania was forced to resort to radical measures to save its only active nuclear reactor. 💥 Explosions and Barges: To raise the water level, authorities detonated a stone obstacle and sank 4 barges with stones, creating a temporary dam. This allowed the water level to rise by 4 cm and ensured the plant's operation for 9 days. ⚡ Energy Crisis: The shutdown of reactors in Romania and Hungary (Paks NPP shut down for the first time in 44 years) led to an energy deficit. Romania is forced to import electricity from Ukraine via Moldova. 📉 State of Emergency: The government declared a state of emergency in energy and urged citizens to save electricity. 🌧️ Forecast: An improvement in the situation is expected after August 15 due to rains in the upper reaches of the Danube. #Romania #NuclearPowerPlant #Danube #Drought #Energy #Climate
