Due to Hungary's critical energy situation, it may occur for the first time in the history of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant that all four blocks must be shut down simultaneously due to the Danube's record-low water levels, which poses an unprecedented challenge to the country's energy security. (translated)

Prime Minister Péter Magyar informed the public that the shutdown of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant is expected to last for more than a month, which may have serious consequences for the population and the industry in connection with the worsening energy crisis and water shortage. (translated)

Prime Minister Péter Hungary warned that the country is facing the most critical five days due to the shutdown of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant, as the water level of the Danube has dropped to a record low, which poses a huge burden on the energy system due to the expected heat. (translated)

Peter Magyar informed about the extraordinary energy situation, emphasizing that the complete shutdown of the Paks nuclear power plant is expected to occur in the coming days, while the water level of the Danube is critically low, and during the hottest periods, the energy system is expected to face enormous strain. (translated)

Péter Magyar announced that due to the low water level of the Danube, the Paks Nuclear Power Plant will completely shut down for the first time in August, which could cause a severe energy crisis in Hungary, so the government has introduced energy-saving measures, including the disconnection of large industrial consumers. (translated)

The complete shutdown of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant is expected on Tuesday or Wednesday due to the further decrease in the Danube's water level, which was announced by Prime Minister Péter Magyar at an extraordinary press conference, emphasizing that the situation does not pose a nuclear safety risk. (translated)

Peter Magyar warned at MOL's press conference that Hungary is at the beginning of one of the most serious energy crises of recent decades, caused by the low water level of the Danube, and the most critical period is expected to begin on Monday, as the shutdown of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant is anticipated to occur before then. (translated)

Hungary's energy supply could come under critically difficult circumstances due to the shutdown of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant and the Danube Power Plant, as well as the record-low water levels affecting the Danube due to the thermal dome, which could lead to significant capacity reductions and even mandatory industrial shutdowns. (translated)

Prime Minister Péter Magyar warned of a critical energy supply situation arising from the shutdown of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant and the increasing energy consumption, which entails the introduction of various self-restraining measures, including the limitation of electricity consumption by large users and ensuring electricity imports. (translated)

Péter Magyar made an extraordinary announcement that due to the shutdown of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant and the malfunction of the Danube Power Plant, a critical energy supply crisis is expected to develop in Hungary starting Monday, as a total of 2400 megawatts of capacity has been lost while consumption is reaching record highs. (translated)

Due to the record low water level of the Danube, the shutdown of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant and the Dunamenti Power Plant could cause an energy crisis situation, for which the government is preparing restrictions on the production of large consumers, such as battery factories and cement plants. (translated)

According to the MVM announcement, due to the historically low water level of the Danube, the complete shutdown of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant is unavoidable in the next 24–72 hours, as the cooling water pumps cannot perform their tasks safely; therefore, the public is asked to practice responsible energy conservation to maintain supply security. (translated)

The communication director of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant announced that due to the record-low water level of the Danube, the power plant will have to be shut down within the next three days, as the water provides cooling, and they were not prepared for such an extreme situation. (translated)

Due to the decrease in the Danube's water level, four pump-floating structures and two floating cranes have been put on standby to ensure the safe operation of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant, while the power of certain blocks of the nuclear power plant has been reduced due to the temperature.
