Hungary shuts second nuclear reactor due to Danube low water
Hungary has closed its second nuclear reactor at Paks Station due to a decline in the water level of the Danube River, which led to a drop in the plant's output to less than 25% of its capacity—its lowest level in 44 years. The Prime Minister confirmed that the country will be forced to shut down the entire plant by mid-week for the first time in its history, due to the drought that has caused a shortage of the cooling water necessary for operations. The Paks plant, located south of Budapest, produces 40% of Hungary's electricity. This closure comes amid challenges related to water scarcity and the impact of drought on energy sources.
