Hungary reduces Paks nuclear plant output amid Danube drought

Hungarian authorities have scaled back power generation at the Paks Nuclear Power Plant as falling water levels on the Danube River threaten cooling operations. Following a late-night meeting on Friday, officials confirmed the plant's output was restricted to 480 megawatts. The decreased water flow poses a risk of a complete shutdown of the facility if dry weather continues.

A government defense task force convened to implement contingency measures to mitigate potential energy shortages and manage the risks associated with the dropping river levels.
