Hungary to sink two barges near nuclear plant to raise Danube levels to ensure cooling

Hungary will sink two barges in the Danube to raise the water level at the Paks nuclear plant and avoid a turbine shutdown.
The plant is operating at about 25% capacity because of a historic drought and record-low Danube levels.
Neighbouring Romania recently shut its last reactor for the same reason, underscoring climate-driven challenges for riverside nuclear sites.
