The Hungarian government has launched an investigation into the critical situation developing at the Paks Nuclear Power Plant, triggered by the record low water levels of the Danube River. The investigation will review previous measures taken and any potential oversights that contributed to the current circumstances. Four ministers have been tasked with preparing a comprehensive report for the government, with a deadline of September 11th. The low Danube levels are impacting the plant’s cooling systems, prompting the need for a thorough review of preventative strategies. The government aims to determine if sufficient precautions were in place and identify any necessary improvements to ensure the plant's continued safe operation. This comes as Europe faces a heatwave and drought impacting waterways. The investigation's findings will likely influence future policies regarding environmental factors and critical infrastructure protection.
