Romanian Navy Blasts Riverbed to Protect Nuclear Plant The Romanian navy's decision to blast a section of the Danube riverbed has raised concerns about the country's nuclear energy policy.
On the surface, it appears to be an extreme measure taken to protect the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant from potential flooding caused by erosion.
Located on the Danube River in southeastern Romania, the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant is one of the country's largest electricity producers, accounting for around 18% of its total power generation.
