Bucharest,\nOctober 29, 2026<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/i><\/b><\/p>

SN\nNuclearelectrica SA announces that Units 1 and 2 of the Cernavod\u0103 Nuclear Power\nPlant are being kept in a safe shutdown state, in accordance with nuclear\nsafety regulations and standards. This situation poses no risk to nuclear\nsafety.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Furthermore,\nfollowing on from its most recent update, SNN states that a rise of\napproximately 10 cm in the water level measured in the pump intake basin at\nCernavod\u0103 Nuclear Power Plant has recently been achieved, as a result of the\nrise in the level of the Danube. This is a localised rise, which is not, as\nyet, accompanied by a general rise across the entire Danube River basin\nupstream of Cernavod\u0103. This development is positive and reflects a current\nimprovement in hydrological conditions compared with previous days.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

At\npresent, although the conditions are favourable, current forecasts do not\nindicate that all the criteria required to make the decision to reconnect at\nleast one of the units will be met.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

The\nwater level in the power station\u2019s intake basin remains below the threshold\nconsidered necessary for the reconnection of one or both units. The level\nrequired for the safe reconnection of the units must be maintained over a\nperiod of several days and must show an upward trend.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\u201cOnce we\nreach the level required for the safe reconnection and operation of the\nCernavod\u0103 Nuclear Power Station, we will request, as a matter of priority, that\nthe plant be connected to the National Energy System. At present, against the\nbackdrop of a volatile, as yet unsustainable rise in the water level in the intake\nbasin, we are acting strictly in accordance with the applicable operating procedures\nof the Cernavod\u0103 Nuclear Power Plant. Nuclear safety and the safety of the\nplant are Nuclearelectrica\u2019s absolute priorities.\u201d \u2013 Mihai Gioar\u0103, CEO of\nNuclearelectrica<\/span><\/span><\/p>

SNN is\nclosely monitoring all hydrological data and is collaborating with the relevant\nauthorities. SNN is prepared to reconnect the Cernavod\u0103 Nuclear Power Plant, as\nsoon as the forecasts become favourable and the necessary conditions are met, thereby\nsupporting the National Energy System.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>

SNN will communicate\nany changes in the status of the Cernavod\u0103 Nuclear Power Plant, in accordance\nwith the legal requirements applicable to a listed company.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
