Romania Blasts Danube Rock to Keep Nuclear Plant Cool

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