Romania shuts its nuclear plant while Hungary dams the dry Danube River.
Romania has shut down its only nuclear plant in a rare move prompted by the lack of cooling water from the Danube River.
Hungary, meanwhile, is racing to dam the Danube, trying to keep its Paks plant online.

After making multiple but ultimately vain efforts efforts to redirect more water to the Danube, its water levels have dropped so far that Romania was forced to shut down its only operating nuclear power plant today.

Fans of nuclear power often like to describe it as “reliable”. Well, it isn’t during heat waves.
“Heatwave expected to remove 15% of France's nuclear capacity on Friday”
Six reactors are expected to be fully offline due to the heat. Nuclear availability expected to be lowest since August 2023.

AFP: Jellyfish force shutdown of three reactors at French nuclear plant
"...A nuclear plant in northern France shut down three reactors after a swarm of jellyfish clogged pumps used to cool the units, energy group EDF said on Tuesday, August 11.
Three reactors were taken offline on Monday and output at a fourth was cut by half, EDF said in a statement, leaving just one operating at full capacity. A sixth reactor was already offline for scheduled maintenance. ..."

Romania might temporarily shut down its last functioning nuclear reactor on Thursday as Danube levels fall.
Unprecedented measures to keep the country's sole working reactor running, including detonating a rock obstruction out of the water, dredging the riverbed and sinking rock-filled barges in the Danube to redirect flows to around the power plant, may have been insufficient.

When extreme heat threatens Europe’s nuclear power.
Warm rivers and low water levels are forcing nuclear power plants to reduce output across Europe.
Over a year, the losses are minimal, but on critical days the loss of power has consequences for grids and prices.

You only need to buy a wind turbine or a set of solar panels once, as they last for many years, unless a more efficient model catches your eye. For capitalists, that's pocket change. They need things they can charge for on a regular basis, not these one-offs, to become and remain showered in other people's money, in proper, regular, extractions.
Besides, nuclear energy and fossil fuels are mandatory tools in order to win at the biggest money-making game of them all.
War.

A Delaware task force determined nuclear power is not a viable "short-term" energy solution for the state.
Building nuclear power plants is a lengthy and expensive process, taking an estimated 8 to 10 years.
The task force recommended exploring other immediate energy sources like solar, batteries and more.

SMR status update: same as it ever was. Two repurposed Russian naval reactors on a barge remain the only grid-connected SMRs in the world. They’re 35MW for a total of 70MW.
China is still yet to produce a single grid connected SMR, though Linglong One (ACP100) may be soonish.
Years after China started the ACP100 program it started working on Hualong One, a new domestic design for a traditional light water reactor. The first connected to the grid in 2021. There are now 10, with dozens more in the pipline. They produce 1.2GW each.

Dry Danube River threatens nuclear power in Romania and Hungary.
Hungary’s Paks nuclear power plant was operating at about 10% of capacity because of a lack of cooling riverwater. In Romania, the military blew up a rock outcrop in a bid to improve water flow to the Cernavoda plant.

#Romania detonates a rock so that the pieces can be used to divert more water to a #nuclearpower plant - because it's on the verge of being shut down because all the rivers are at historic lows.
If only there was a method of generating energy that doesn't need water for cooling... two ideally!
