NewzHungary is facing a historic shutdown of its sole nuclear power facility, the Paks nuclear plant, as the Danube River reaches record-low water levels. Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced the impending closure on Friday, marking the first time in the plant's history that operations will be completely suspended due to environmental conditions.
The situation poses significant challenges for the country's energy infrastructure. According to the statements, the facility may remain offline for several weeks because the Danube is projected to continue receding, prolonging the disruption to regular plant operations.
