Hungary's Paks nuclear plant could shut down on Thursday or Friday, PM says
Hungary's Paks nuclear plant could be powered down on Thursday or Friday because of low water levels on the Danube River, which the plant uses for cooling water, Prime Minister Peter Magyar was quoted as saying by MTI on Thursday.
First-ever block shutdown at Paks as Danube runs dangerously low
In recent years, it has happened on several occasions that the output of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant had to be reduced due to summer heat and high water temperatures in the Danube, but a complete block shutdown had never occurred before — the current measure was necessitated by an exceptionally low water level, expert Zsolt Hárfás told MTI on Wednesday.
According to the company, a complete shutdown is inevitable because, due to the continuously falling water level of the Danube, the pumps of the water extraction system can no longer ensure normal operation.
