Hungary has announced it has no target date to submit its application
for a construction permit for new reactors at the Paks nuclear power
plant – a move Budapest says is aimed at minimizing any safety risks, Reuters reported.
The project is one of the biggest deals Rosatom, Russia’s state
nuclear corporation, is working on as it seeks to expand the list of
foreign customers building its new VVER-1200 reactor series. But the
Hungarian project has faced long delays due in part to a European Union
review of the project and how it is being financed.
The Kremlin has thrown its weight behind the reactor project, which
will add two VVER-1200 reactors to a facility that is already running
four older Soviet-built pressurize water reactors. Nearly half of
Hungary’s electricity is supplied by the plant.
