HUNGARY NUCLEAR CRISIS: Magyar Blames Orban, Russia and Record-Low Danube Water Levels

Hungary's Paks 1 nuclear power plant has reduced output to less than half of its two-gigawatt capacity after record-low water levels on the Danube affected its cooling system, raising fears of a possible shutdown. Prime Minister Peter Magyar blamed the previous government of Viktor Orban, accusing it of failing to prepare for climate change impacts and relying too heavily on Russian energy interests. The Danube fell to a record low of 23 centimetres in Budapest, while drought conditions have also disrupted shipping and affected nuclear power generation in neighbouring Romania. #hungary #paks #nuclearpower #nuclearcrisis #danube #drought #climatechange #energycrisis #viktororban #petermagyar #rosatom #russia #europeenergy #climatecrisis #europeanews #worldnews #breakingnews #geopolitics #energysecurity #powercrisis In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
