#Romania’s military took unprecedented action to boost water flows toward the country’s sole nuclear power plant by detonating a rock formation in the Danube River. The Black Sea country has already shut down one of its two reactors at the Cernavoda station as low water levels in the Danube due to a drought prevent proper cooling of equipment. The army used 180 kilograms (396 pounds) of explosives in a controlled blast to remove a rock constricting a branch of the river, interim Defense Minister Radu Miruta told reporters on Monday. The aim was to redirect water into the main channel feeding the plant to avert a shutdown of the remaining reactor after Thursday, he said. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
