SN Nuclearelectrica SA May Shut Down Cernavoda Unit 2

SN Nuclearelectrica SA announced the possible controlled shutdown of Unit 2 at the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant scheduled for the morning of August 13, 2026. The state-owned operator cited declining water levels in the Danube River as the primary driver for the potential closure.

Low river levels affect the plant's ability to maintain necessary operations, necessitating the controlled shutdown to ensure safety and operational integrity. The company is monitoring the situation to determine if the shutdown will proceed as planned.
