Romanian Nuclearelectrica starts shutting down sole working nuclear reactor BUCHAREST, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Romanian state-owned nuclear power producer Nuclearelectrica ROSNN.BX said on Thursday it has started the process of disconnecting its sole working reactor from the power grid due to record low Danube river levels.
The drought-hit river levels already forced it to shut down one reactor in late July. The company has two 706-megawatt reactors in Cernavoda on the Danube accounting for a fifth of the country's power output.
