Qalalaase Koronto iyo Qorrax Kulul oo Riixaya Wabiga Danube ee Yar: Romania, Hungary iyo Serbia
Wadamada bartamaha iyo bariga Yurub ayaa la halgamaya yaraanta korontada iyadoo heerka biyaha Danube uu gaaray meel aan hore loo arag.
Dhowr wadan oo ku yaal bartamaha iyo bariga Yurub ayaa la kulma yaraanta korontada iyo saameyn ku timid warshadaha, taas oo ka dhalatay cimilo kulul oo dheer iyo heerarka biyaha ee Danube iyo wabiyada kale oo gaaray rikoor hoose. Kulayl iyo qalalaase ayaa sii socda iyadoo aanay calaamad gargaar muuqan toddobaadka.
Tallaabooyinka Romania ee Badbaadinta Cernavoda
Ciidamada Romania ayaa qarxiyay dhagax weyn oo ka muuqday sariirta Danube markii biyuhu yaraadeen, ujeedkuna wuxuu ahaa in la wanaajiyo qulqulka biyaha qaboojinta ee xarunta nukliyeerka Cernavoda, taas oo bixisa qiyaastii shantameey ka mid ah korontada wadanka. Xaruntu waxay biyaha qaboojinteeda oo dhan ka heshaa Danube.
Askarigu waxay qarxiyeen dhagax qiyaastii 50 kiilomitir (30 mayl) oo ka sarreeya, burburkaana loo qaaday meel istiraatiiji ah si loo dejiyo kor u qaadista heerka biyaha. Wasiirka Difaaca Radu Miruta ayaa sheegay in hawshu guulaysatay, isla markaana ciidanku ay sugayeen fursad ay ku burburiyaan dhagaxyadaas tobanaan sano.
Xaaladda Hungary iyo Paks Nuclear Plant
Raiisel wasaare Peter Magyar ayaa xaqiijiyay in la awooday in laga fako waayo xidhitaankii aan hore loo arag ee xarunta nukliyeerka Paks ee Isniintii, kaas oo hore loogu dhawaaqay usbuucii hore. Xarunta afar-reactor leh waxay ku shaqaynaysay wax ka badan 10% awoodda Isniintii, inkastoo ay dhaliso kala badh korontada Hungary iyo saddex-meelood meel isticmaalka.
Magyar wuxuu veeray: 'water management forecasts for the coming days have become slightly more optimistic.'. Waxaa loo codsaday isticmaalayaasha warshadaha inay yareeyaan isticmaalka, qoysaskana inay iskaa wax u dhigaan; tareenada xamuulka korontada ku shaqeeyaana waa la joojiyay Isniintii.
Serbia iyo Saameynta Gaadiidka Bavaria
Xarunta biyo-koronto ee Iron Gate ee Serbia waxay ku shaqaynaysay qiyaastii shantameey awoodda Isniintii. Raiisel wasaare Djuro Macut ayaa shir degdeg ah qabtay Isniintii, wuxuuna codsaday dadweynaha inay 'minimize the use of big consumers of electricity in their homes, such as air conditioners,' kadib markuu xaaladda ku tilmaamay 'serious an demanding'.
Far upstream in Bavaria, heerka Danube wuxuu saameyn ku yeeshay gaadiidka xamuulka. Wasiirka Gaadiidka Jarmalka Steffen Bilger ayaa ku yiri Reuters TV: 'It is indeed a very tense situation with the low waters,' wuxuuna sheegay inuu qaban doono shir qaran Khamiista.
Prolonged heat and historic low water levels on the Danube River have triggered energy emergencies in Hungary, Romania and Serbia, forcing nuclear plants to run at a fraction of capacity and prompting factory suspensions and emergency government meetings.
Hungary Keeps Paks Nuclear Plant Barely Running
Hungary narrowly avoided a total shutdown of its sole nuclear facility, the Paks plant, which normally generates nearly half the country's electricity. On Monday, the four-reactor station operated at just over 10% capacity due to insufficient cooling water from the Danube.
Prime Minister Peter Magyar said the unprecedented partial shutdown could be averted, thanking citizens for their restraint. Industrial users were asked to cut consumption, electric freight trains were halted, and households were urged to save power. Magyar later noted that water management forecasts had become slightly more optimistic.
Romania's Navy Blasts Rocks to Save Cernavoda Nuclear Plant
Romania's military detonated a rocky outcrop exposed by the Danube's low water levels, about 50 kilometers upstream, to improve cooling water flow to the Cernavoda nuclear plant, which supplies roughly one-fifth of the nation's power. Defense Minister Radu Miruta declared the operation a success, noting the military had waited decades for such an opportunity.
Caretaker Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan announced that carmakers Dacia and Ford had agreed to suspend production until August 19 following an emergency meeting with energy-intensive industry representatives. Miruta warned that if the partial water diversion fails, the plant would likely have to shut down entirely by Thursday.
Serbia and Germany Brace for Continued Energy and Transport Disruption
Serbia's Iron Gate hydroelectric plant on the Danube was operating at only about one-fifth capacity on Monday. Prime Minister Djuro Macut convened an emergency meeting and appealed to residents to minimize electricity use, describing the situation as 'serious and demanding.'
Far upstream in Bavaria, historic low levels on the Danube and the Rhine are disrupting freight transport. New German Transport Minister Steffen Bilger called the situation 'very tense,' noting that problems of this scale are unusually early in the calendar year. He promised to chair a crisis meeting on Thursday, warning that several more weeks of hot, dry weather may still lie ahead.
