Hungary warns of drought and nuclear shutdown impacts
Hungary is facing severe economic repercussions due to the drought impacting its agricultural regions, in addition to the potential for a prolonged halt in nuclear energy production at the Paks reactor. The government estimates that damages in 2026 could exceed 500 billion forints (approximately 1.6 billion dollars), with at least a month required to restart the reactor if the Danube River's water levels remain low. Projections suggest that if the situation persists, it could threaten the sustainability of the Hungarian economy's operations without the reactor running for extended periods, highlighting an urgent need for solutions.
