Centrala nucleară de la Paks a fost oprită complet

Hungary's Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced the complete shutdown of the Paks nuclear power plant due to declining Danube water levels, marking the first such closure in 44 years. The plant, which supplies about 40% of Hungary's electricity, has been operating at reduced capacity and may face further operational challenges. Authorities are urging additional energy consumption reductions and may implement temporary power cuts if necessary. The situation is exacerbated by record low water levels in the Danube, affecting transport and tourism.
