Hungary closes second reactor amid Danube drop
Hungary has announced the shutdown of the second reactor at Paks Nuclear Power Plant due to a decrease in the water level of the Danube River, which has led to the plant operating at less than 25% of its total capacity of 2,000 megawatts. Prime Minister Péter Márki-Zay confirmed that the country will have to close the entire plant for the first time in 44 years by mid-week as a result of the drought, which has caused a shortage of the necessary cooling water. The Paks plant accounts for 40% of Hungary's electricity production, and the shutdown is expected to include the complete cessation of the plant's operations due to the water scarcity impacts.
