Ungaria va scufunda două barje în Dunăre pentru a menține în funcțiune centrala nucleară Paks • Newsweek România

Hungary plans to sink two barges in the Danube to temporarily raise water levels for the Paks nuclear power plant, which is currently operating at reduced capacity due to drought. Prime Minister Peter Magyar warned of critical water levels that could force the shutdown of one turbine. The controlled sinking of the 80-meter barges will begin soon, serving as an emergency measure. Additionally, the government announced plans to construct a submerged dam to manage water flow and maintain adequate levels, with work expected to take several weeks.
