罗马尼亚因极端热浪导致多瑙河水位降至30年来最低，被迫关闭其唯一的核电站切尔诺沃达。[1]该电站第二座反应堆于周四中午前断开电网。[1]切尔诺沃达核电站的两座反应堆各装机容量706兆瓦，共为罗马尼亚供应约20%的电力。[1]
切尔诺沃达核电站主任Romeo Urjan表示："在接下来的10天内不会重启"。[1]切尔诺沃达之前仅在2003年关闭过一次。[1]匈牙利的帕克斯核电站也面临类似的水位威胁。[1]
这场极端高温事件对欧洲经济造成巨大冲击。意大利农业贸易协会Coldiretti估计气候相关损失可能超过30亿欧元。[1]法国环境部长Monique Barbut警告热浪成本可能达到100亿至150亿欧元。[1]英国方面，周四基尤花园的气温达到38.1°C（100.6°F）。[1]
Romania has been forced to shut down its sole nuclear power facility following an extreme heat wave that has caused the Danube River to reach its lowest water level in three decades.[1] The second reactor at the Cernavoda nuclear plant was disconnected from the grid before noon on Thursday, with plant director Romeo Urjan stating that "We do not foresee a restart within the next 10 days."[1] Each of the facility's two reactors generates 706 megawatts and supplies approximately 20% of Romania's electricity.[1] This represents only the second time since its construction that Cernavoda has been forced offline, the previous occasion occurring in 2003.[1]
The extreme conditions affecting Romania's energy infrastructure reflect a broader crisis gripping Europe. Hungary's Paks nuclear station faces similar operational threats from low water levels, and the continent is experiencing severe economic consequences from the combined effects of extreme temperatures and reduced river flows.[1] According to Italy's agricultural trade association Coldiretti, climate-related losses could exceed €3 billion,[1] while France's environment minister Monique Barbut has warned that the total cost of the heat wave may reach €10 billion to €15 billion.[1] In Britain, temperatures reached 38.1°C (100.6°F) at Kew Gardens on Thursday, illustrating the geographic scale of the heat emergency.[1]
