Hungary's Nuclear Power Development: Paks-2 Plant
Construction work at the Paks-2 nuclear power plant in Hungary is proceeding as scheduled. The director of the Russian nuclear energy company Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, confirmed that the project is on track.
Project Details
The construction work in the second unit of the project includes the creation of vital buildings and sites, including the nuclear reactor. It is expected that the first concrete pouring will begin this year.
Context
The current Paks nuclear power plant is a significant source of electricity in Hungary, producing about half of the country's needs. The production is expected to double with the operation of the two new units.
In a related context, the current Paks nuclear power plant may be shut down due to the low water level in the Danube River.
