NewzHungarian authorities have deliberately sunk two large barges into the Danube River to secure the water flow required for the Paks nuclear power plant. The maneuver is intended to prevent potential power outages at the facility, which serves as the country's sole nuclear energy source.
Prime Minister Peter Magyar has characterized the current period as critical for the plant's operations. Officials are currently monitoring the impact of the submerged vessels to determine if the intervention successfully stabilizes the water levels necessary to maintain the plant's cooling and operational capacity.
