Romania's Cernavodă nuclear plant cooling water fix fails; minister flags recurring issue

Romania's new Energy Minister Dumitru Chisăliță said measures to secure cooling water for the Cernavodă nuclear reactors have not worked, citing hydrotechnical works to divert Danube water to the Bala branch. The problem is not new—first occurred in 2003—but the failure to resolve it raises risks of reactor derating or shutdown, which would strain regional power supply. The minister's statement is preliminary; full details are pending an interview.
