WorldRomania shuts nuclear plant as Hungary dams drought-hit Danube

Romania has closed its only nuclear power plant because falling Danube levels left it short of cooling water. Hungary is building a low weir and using barges to raise the river near Paks, where only one reactor remains operational amid the drought. Both countries are arranging alternative power supplies and warning of possible electricity restrictions.
