Cernavoda units stay offline as Danube water levels hold a restart decision
From the Energy digest for Oct 30, 2026
What happened: Units at Romania's Cernavoda nuclear power plant remain shut down because of Danube river water levels. Romania's Nuclearelectrica says that although there has been a recent rise in the local water level, current forecasts do not yet support a decision to restart the units.
What's genuinely new: An operator confirming its reactors are idle over river levels — even with the local level now rising — and no restart decision on the table yet.
Watch: Danube forecasts, the restart decision, and what the outage does to Romania's power supply.
