Hungary plans to build a bed sill and potentially sink barges in the Danube River to raise water levels and keep its Paks nuclear power plant operational, which currently runs at reduced capacity due to record low river levels caused by drought and heat waves.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must plan for water scarcity affecting nuclear plant operations now that Hungary is physically altering the Danube to prevent shutdowns. Energy founders relying on river-cooled plants face new dependencies and operational risks to navigate immediately.
