Paks Nuclear Plant Shut Down by Drought | Perth News

Description

Hungary’s only nuclear plant is shutting down for the first time in 44 years—because the Danube is dangerously low, forcing a halt to cooling operations amid a brutal drought. Prime Minister Magyar warns of a full shutdown by Tuesday or Wednesday, but assures safety. With no rain on the horizon and water levels plunging below historic lows, the crisis underscores climate change’s grip on Central Europe—and has triggered voluntary power cuts from big users to keep the grid stable.
