What is reported
Romania’s only nuclear power plant was shut down after a decline in Danube River flow reduced cooling water availability, according to reports from Al Jazeera English and RT. Hungary sank two barges near the plant in an effort to raise water levels for cooling, as described by Yahoo Entertainment.
DW reported that the plant’s closure coincided with Hungary’s damming actions that left the Danube River dry in the area. (Sources: yahoo.com, aljazeera.com, rt.com, dw.com)

România închide singura centrală nucleară pe măsură ce debitul Dunării scade
Singura centrală nucleară din România a fost oprită după ce scăderea debitului Râului Dunăre a redus disponibilitatea apei de răcire, conform rapoartelor din Al Jazeera English și RT. Ungaria a scufundat două barje în apropierea centralei într-un efort de a ridica nivelul apei pentru răcire, așa cum a fost descris de Yahoo Entertainment. DW a raportat că închiderea centralei a coincis cu acțiunile de baraj ale Ungariei, care au lăsat Râul Dunăre uscat în zonă. (Surse: yahoo.com, aljazeera.com, rt.com, dw.com)

Румыния закрывает единственный ядерный реактор из-за снижения уровня воды в Дунае
Единственная в Румынии атомная электростанция была остановлена после того, как снижение потока реки Дунай уменьшило доступность охлаждающей воды, согласно сообщениям Al Jazeera English и RT. Венгрия затопила две баржи вблизи станции в попытке повысить уровень воды для охлаждения, как описано в Yahoo Entertainment. DW сообщило, что закрытие станции совпало с действиями Венгрии по возведению плотины, которые привели к тому, что река Дунай пересохла в этом районе.

How this story was made
Read: the desk read news feeds and search results on this topic.
Kept: a story is kept only if articles on it come from at least two different websites, and published here only if its headline or first sentence names a place in Romania or Europe.
Written: a language model rewrote what those articles report in neutral language. It was given only each article's headline, not the outlet's summary or the full text, and told to state only what those headlines say; nothing checks its sentences against them. Writing service recorded: groq.
Checked: automated checks for repeats of an earlier story, reports of no coverage, raw model output, length, specificity and the AI disclosure, and a test of whether two of the cited websites report the same event (its result is under Sourcing).
Not done: no human edited this story; no reporter contacted anyone; the outlets' claims were not independently verified.
