- Why now
- Newest report Nov 9: Romania restarts second Cernavodă reactor after outage (Digi24).from the newest member report, published 9 Nov 07:41 UTC
- Why it matters
- The full restart of Cernavodă's reactors restores critical baseload power supply and highlights the vulnerability of nuclear cooling systems to environmental factors like riverine water levels.

Romania's Cernavodă nuclear power plant has restored full operational capacity with the restart of Unit 2 on Monday, following Unit 1's reconnection last week. The initial ~100-day shutdown of Unit 1 was confirmed to be due to low Danube River water levels impacting cooling, with the cause of Unit 2's outage remaining unclear. This restoration alleviates domestic power supply concerns ahead of winter.
