Hungary’s Paks nuclear power plant has stopped producing electricity for the first time in its 44 years of service, after record-low water levels on the Danube left its Soviet-built reactors without enough cooling water. The last unit was powered down late on August 2 or on August 3, he told commercial broadcaster RTL. Magyar said the plant could stay out of service for more than a month, with no significant rainfall forecast for the drought-hit region. The plant draws river water to cool its condensers. Its army detonated a rock formation in the Danube on August 3 to push more water towards the Cernavodă nuclear plant, where one of two reactors has been offline since July 28.
