Hungary’s Nuclear Plant Shuts Down | Europe News
Description
Hungary’s Paks nuclear plant, powering nearly half the country, is shutting down Sunday due to record-low Danube River levels—no planned maintenance, just nature’s squeeze. Prime Minister Magyar dropped the bombshell on Facebook, sparking alarm as the drought disrupts not just energy but shipping and tourism too. This crisis underscores how fragile our infrastructure is when tied to natural resources. Officials are watching for rain to revive river levels and restore power; until then, Hungary braces for a major energy crunch.
