Romania will shut down its ‌second nuclear reactor on the Danube river, the energy ministry said on Wednesday, three days after decades-low river levels forced it to shut down the first. State-owned nuclear power producer ​Nuclearelectrica has two 706-megawatt reactors at Cernavoda on the Danube, accounting ​for roughly a fifth of Romania's power production. The two ⁠reactors have never before been disconnected from the grid at the same ​time because of low water levels. @
