Hungary’s Paks Nuclear Power Plant restored full output, with all four reactors and eight turbines operating normally.
· ComputeLabs Research · from the August 26, 2026 edition
Hungary’s prime minister said the Paks Nuclear Power Plant had returned to full output. All four nuclear reactors and all eight turbines were reported to be operating normally.
Earlier in August, extremely low water levels in the Danube River, caused by drought, had seriously constrained the plant’s cooling-water intake. That condition forced portions of the facility to shut down.
The update therefore records the restoration of existing nuclear generation rather than a new reactor addition. The supplied source does not give the plant’s megawatt output, the duration of the curtailment or reactor-by-reactor production figures.
