Falling Danube flow forces shutdown of Romania’s sole nuclear plant

A severe heatwave across Europe, highlighted by falling water flow in the Danube, forced Romania to disconnect its sole nuclear power plant—which typically generates twenty percent of the country's electricity. Additionally, the heatwave has reduced French nuclear capacity by a fifth and led to falling tourism numbers across European hotspots.

• Romania is disconnecting its sole functioning nuclear reactor from the grid due to the heatwave.
• A fifth of France's nuclear capacity is offline.
• Tourism hotspots across Europe report falling visitor numbers.
• Romania's sole nuclear plant shut down due to falling Danube water flow.
• The plant typically generates twenty percent of the country's electricity.
