Hungary restarted a turbine at the Paks nuclear plant after Danube river water levels rose, improving cooling capacity following historic lows due to drought. The government is also exploring longer-term energy security measures including wind power expansion and reconsideration of the plant's water dependency.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Hungarian energy founders face a looming challenge as climate impacts strain nuclear plant cooling; pushing wind power now can reduce cooling dependency before another drought disrupts supply.
