Hungary shuts nuclear plant over Danube drop
Hungary has announced the shutdown of the Paks nuclear power plant, which supplies about one-third of its electricity, due to an unprecedented drop in the Danube River's water level. This has led to the plant's first closure in 44 years. This measure comes amid ongoing heatwaves and severe droughts sweeping across Europe, with the river reaching record low levels due to lack of rainfall and soaring temperatures that could exceed 42 degrees Celsius in the coming days. This crisis is part of the broader repercussions of climate change, raising concerns about its ongoing impact on energy and water resources in the region.
