Tuzson Bence: 1983-ban csaknem kiszáradt a Duna. Akkor megoldották. Alig avatták fel a Paksi Atomerőmű első blokkját, amikor a folyó vízszintje történelmi mélységbe süllyedt, és veszélybe került az erőmű hűtővízellátása. A válasz nem sajtótájékoztató és Facebook-kormányzás volt. Harmadfokú készültséget rendeltek el, 556 vízügyi szakembert vezényeltek Paksra, 71 szivattyút, 132 teherautót, darukat és közel két kilométernyi csővezetéket mozgósítottak. Szádfalat építettek, lezárták a hidegvízcsatornát, és negyven szivattyúval emelték át a Duna vizét. Az erőmű működését fenntartották. 1983-ban napok alatt országos műszaki összefogást szerveztek. Ma hetek óta látható az aszály, mégis egymás után állnak le a blokkok, miközben a kormány magyarázatokat és fényképeket gyárt. #Duna #aszály #energiaszolgáltatás
