Hungary greenlights two new Russian-built nuclear reactors

Hungary has granted licences for Russia’s Rosatom to construct two new reactors at its Paks nuclear energy plant, studies Reuters. The Hungarian Nuclear Power Authority on Thursday mentioned the prevailing Russian-built 2-gigawatt plant at Paks may be expanded with two new reactors. Critics say Hungary’s prime minister Viktor Orban has been cosying as much as Russia’s president Vladimir Putin whilst Russia wages a battle in Ukraine.
