World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported8m ago
Hungary's sole nuclear power facility, the Paks Nuclear Power Plant, is set to shut down for the first time in 44 years. The unprecedented shutdown is a result of record-low water levels on the Danube River, which supplies water for the plant's operations.
The suspension of operations leaves the country facing a potential power crunch as authorities deal with the logistical and energy supply challenges arising from the weather-driven disruptions to the facility.
