The Romanian government announced on Sunday that the second nuclear reactor at the Cernavoda power plant will remain operational for at least nine additional days. The decision follows recent controlled explosions and the intentional sinking of four vessels in the Danube River, which has experienced rising water levels.
The rising Danube had posed operational challenges for the nuclear facility, necessitating intervention to stabilize conditions. By utilizing controlled blasts and scuttling watercraft to manage the river flow, authorities have secured a temporary extension for the reactor's ongoing operations.
