Hungary halts nuclear plant after 44 years
Hungary has announced the shutdown of its only nuclear power plant in Paks after a record low water level in the Danube River, which led to a halt in operations for the first time in 44 years. The plant's sustainability depends on the river's water to cool the reactors, but prolonged heatwaves and drought have caused water levels to drop, threatening a complete shutdown before next week. The plant supplies a third of the country's electricity needs, with temperatures expected to remain high, exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, increasing the stress on the region's energy crisis.
