- Romania's interim Environment Minister Diana Buzoianu stated the situation at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant has worsened.

The situation at Romania's Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant has deteriorated, according to interim Environment Minister Diana Buzoianu. She issued a stark warning, stating that the plant's operational outlook is now considerably more grim than previously assessed.
Buzoianu specifically addressed the plant's capacity following recent work to increase the Danube River's water flow. An earlier assessment on Sunday had suggested the plant could continue functioning for an additional nine days. However, the minister clarified that this optimistic projection is no longer accurate, indicating a more critical state of affairs.
"We are in a much more somber prognosis than we were yesterday," Buzoianu declared, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Her statement signals a heightened level of concern regarding the plant's stability and operational capacity in light of the changed circumstances related to the Danube's water levels.
We are in a much more somber prognosis than we were yesterday.
