Record droughts in Central Europe have forced nuclear reactors in Hungary and Romania to shut down or reduce output due to dangerously low water levels in the Danube, threatening energy security and forcing demand reduction measures.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.
