Hungary's Paks nuclear power plant began raising output again after crisis measures on the Danube. Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced on Saturday evening that, alongside the two turbines operating until then, a third was also being connected, specifically the sixth turbine of the third block. According to later information, it reached 3,000 revolutions and is again producing electricity for households and businesses. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗
The resumption of operation follows work on the Danube aimed at raising the water level near the power plant. Magyar had previously reported the construction of an underwater sill between Paks and Dunaszentbenedek, where thousands of tons of stone arrived. Government spokeswoman Szond Vanda said the necessary dredging work to sink the prepared barges had been carried out. The prime minister also said the power plant could operate at full capacity on Wednesday. Telex ↗
The new decisions also concern transport. Minister of Transport and Investment Vitézy Dávid announced the modernization of the Budapest-Fót-Veresegyház-Őrbottyán-Vác railway line for approximately 174 billion forints from the cohesion fund. The project is intended to strengthen suburban transport in the Budapest agglomeration by 2030. After the tragic collision in Siófok, Vitézy also called for a reassessment of the rules on significantly exceeding the speed limit.
The broader political context is complemented by the restoration of news broadcasting on public-service television M1 after the July interruption related to media reform. Further developments will focus on Paks's return to full operation, transport projects, and the planned extraordinary session of parliament. teraz.sk ↗
