Krško Nuclear Power Plant Operates at Full Capacity; Low Sava River Water Level May Affect Unit Output
Slovenia's Krško Nuclear Power Plant continues to operate at full capacity, but due to low water levels and elevated water temperatures in the nearby Sava River, a reduction in reactor power cannot be ruled out in the future.
