歐洲乾旱迫使核電廠關閉
Drought in Europe forces nuclear power plants to shut down

在2026年8月，歐洲面臨嚴峻的能源挑戰，因為水位降至歷史新低，特別是在多瑙河流域，迫使核電廠必須調降產能或完全停機。
In August 2026, Europe faces a critical energy challenge as record-low water levels, particularly in the Danube basin, force nuclear power plants to throttle output or shut down completely.
這個反覆出現的問題突顯了氣候變遷與基礎設施脆弱性之間日益嚴重的交互作用。
This recurring issue highlights a growing intersection between climate change and infrastructure vulnerability.
內陸核電廠依靠河流來冷卻反應爐。
Inland nuclear plants rely on rivers to cool their reactors.
當乾旱嚴重導致水位下降時，取水系統便無法抽取足夠的水量以維持安全運行。
When water levels drop due to severe drought, intake systems cannot draw enough water for safe operations.
匈牙利與羅馬尼亞等國目前承受著這場危機的衝擊。
Countries like Hungary and Romania are currently bearing the brunt of this crisis.
匈牙利的帕克斯設施已接近全面停機，而羅馬尼亞的切爾納沃德核電廠已將反應爐離線，迫使該國必須依賴能源進口。
The Paks facility in Hungary has neared a total shutdown, while Romania’s Cernavoda plant has taken reactors offline, forcing energy imports.
法國也面臨類似壓力，熱浪偶爾導致如戈爾費克-2號等反應爐停止運作。
France faces similar pressures, with heatwaves occasionally halting reactors like Golfech-2.
