Hungary Sinks Barges to Lift the Danube at Paks Nuclear Plant
Hungary sank two barges and is building a rock sill to lift the drought-low Danube at Paks, after low water idled a reactor and left cooling intakes exposed.
O que sabíamos inicialmente
- Hungarian authorities began sinking two barges near Paks on Aug. 15, 2026.
- Reactor 3 at MVM Paks had already been shut over low Danube levels.
- Hungary is also building a rock sill across the riverbed near Dunaszentbenedek.
Então ainda em aberto
- No verified plant-wide output cut, cooling-flow requirement, target lift, or mean-flow fraction in these sources.
- No confirmed account of a reactor shutdown in Romania in these materials.
O que dissemos que iríamos acompanhar
- Whether the rock sill is finished before the Danube falls further.
- How long sunken barges plus diverted water can keep the intakes covered.
