RUSSIA WILL CONSTRUCT TWO NUCLEAR REACTORS IN HUNGARY

  • 27/08/2022

The two new reactors will be built in Hungary, according to the country's foreign minister, by the Russian nuclear power giant Rosatom.

The existing Paks nuclear plant will be expanded as part of the 2014 agreement reached between Russia and the EU state.

The EU has not imposed sanctions on Russia's nuclear sector as a result of its brutal invasion of Ukraine.

Hungary hasn't always backed efforts to isolate and sanction its exports of gas and oil.

Currently, 40% of Hungary's electricity is produced at the Paks site. 

"Let the construction begin!" said Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto in a Facebook post.

With the additional two reactors, the nuclear power station - currently made up of four Soviet-built reactors - will see its capacity more than double.
