📉 According to official reports, the plant faced the possibility of a complete shutdown during the night of 4 August. However, a 1.5-centimetre rise in the river's water level allowed the facility to continue operating safely.
⚡️ To maintain the stability of the national power system, Hungary has strengthened energy-saving measures. Several industrial enterprises have also introduced additional steps to reduce electricity consumption.
🇷🇴 In neighboring Romania, engineering works are also underway to increase the Danube's water level. These measures are expected to help ensure the stable operation of the cooling system at the country's nuclear power plant.
🌡 Experts forecast that air temperatures across the region will remain above 40°C.
📌 This situation highlights the growing importance of sustainable water resource management and improving the climate resilience of energy infrastructure in the face of climate change.
