Radu Miruță, after the controlled explosion at Cernavodă: "Good news: at the nuclear power plant in Cernavodă, the water level has risen by 2cm compared to yesterday"

Radu Miruță announced the first positive effects of the intervention at Cernavodă, where, on August 3, the Stânca de la Pârjoaia was detonated to divert a larger amount of water from the Danube towards the nuclear power plant.

The interim Minister of Defense confirmed that the water level has risen by 2 cm, in contrast to the forecast which anticipated a decrease.

“Considering that the forecast indicated a decrease of 2cm, we can say that yesterday's operation brought a net gain of at least 4cm, meaning another 2 days of operation in addition just from the stages up to now. Congratulations, ANAR, for the solution!” said Radu Miruță.

The mission involved the mobilization of over a hundred soldiers, using 16 special vehicles and 100 kg of explosives, aimed at directing the water towards the Old Danube to ensure the cooling of the nuclear reactors.
