The Cernavoda nuclear plant's reactor 1 building is seen next to the Danube-Black Sea navigation channel in Cernavoda, Romania on August 3, 2026. Romanian army forces detonate an explosive load into the rock bed of Danube in Izvoarele village - upstream from Cernavoda- to help diverting a higher volume of water toward the cooling systems of the Cernavod Nuclear Power Plant. Local authorities and plant engineers authorized the blasting operations to counteract critically low water levels caused by a prolonged summer heatwave, ensuring the continuous and safe operation of the facility's reactors.
