Hungary’s Paks nuclear power plant has decreased production from one reactor due to rising water temperatures in the Danube River. The reduction is a precautionary measure taken to comply with environmental regulations, as higher water temperatures impact the plant’s cooling systems. Energy Minister István Kapitány announced the adjustment via Facebook, assuring the public that Hungary’s electricity supply remains secure despite the lowered output. The specific temperature threshold triggering the reduction was not immediately disclosed. This is not the first time high Danube temperatures have impacted the plant’s operations. Similar reductions have occurred in past summers due to heatwaves affecting the river. Officials maintain the situation is under control and poses no risk to energy stability.
