Romania Blasts Danube Rock Outcrop to Keep Nuclear Plant Cooling — Barge Sinking Next

Romania declared a state of emergency and detonated a rock outcrop on the Danube to redirect cooling water to its Cernavodă nuclear plant. The two-centimetre rise buys only days; officials plan to scuttle old barges as further flow diverters. Hungary's Paks plant narrowly avoided full shutdown the same night, operating at 10% as record-low river levels strain both nations' reactors.
