An incident at the plant\u2019s conventional block forced the shutdown of Unit 1, which was already generating electricity, while a sudden drop in the Danube level put preparations for restarting Unit 2 on hold.<\/p>\n
In principle, an incident at the plant\u2019s conventional block should not require a lengthy intervention, and such incidents have been reported repeatedly in the past. Nuclearelectrica has not confirmed whether the Danube level would allow Unit 1 to restart quickly, although this should be possible according to previous projections.<\/p>\n
Nuclearelectrica announced that both units would resume electricity generation \u201cas soon as possible\u201d. The plant\u2019s experts are working simultaneously to restart Units 1 and 2 and reconnect them to the National Power System.<\/p>\n
The remedial work is being carried out in accordance with the applicable procedures at Cernavod\u0103 NPP, without any impact on nuclear safety, personnel or the environment, the company also announced.<\/p>\n
Nuclearelectrica will report any developments in accordance with the requirements applicable to a publicly listed company.<\/p>\n
Effective December 1, 2026, the technical director of Cernavod\u0103 NPP will be replaced, Nuclearelectrica also announced. The root cause of the incident will be addressed in a subsequent report.<\/p>\n
Romania was left without nuclear power generation at Cernavod\u0103 after Unit 1 was shut down at the end of July and Unit 2 was shut down on August 13, due to the low flow of the Danube.<\/p>\n
The two reactors, with a combined capacity of approximately 1,400 MW, provided around 20% of electricity consumption during peak periods. Under these conditions, the national energy system relied on wind power, hydropower, and imports.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
