At Hungary’s Paks nuclear power plant, four of eight turbines were again generating electricity on Sunday. Prime Minister Péter Magyar reported on the state of the work during weekend appearances from the power plant site and at a Sunday press conference in Paks, where Economy and Energy Minister István Kapitány and Defence Minister Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi also spoke. hnonline.sk ↗
Operations at the power plant had to be gradually restricted from the end of July because of the low water level of the Danube, until only one of the eight turbines remained in operation. According to available information, the third turbine was started on Saturday and the restart of the unit was broadcast live on a social network. During the night into Sunday, the plant’s third unit started running again, made possible by construction work and a rise in the Danube’s water level. teraz.sk ↗
The measures include the construction of a weir on the riverbed near Paks, intended to help ensure the safe operation of the power plant when water levels are low. According to government statements, construction is progressing faster than originally planned. Work was also carried out on other sections of the Hungarian part of the Danube. Telex ↗
Magyar also announced that after the work in Paks is completed, the government wants to submit legislation concerning water, energy and climate at extraordinary speed. Further developments will depend on the continuation of water-management interventions, the level of the Danube and the pace of restoring the power plant to full operation. HVG ↗
