匈牙利帕克什核电站面临首次完全关闭

匈牙利总理佩特·马吉宣布，该国唯一的帕克什核电站将首次实现完全关闭1。这一决定由多瑙河水位创历史新低所驱动，该河流的水位可能降至负144厘米，远低于2018年创造的负98厘米纪录1。当水位降至负134厘米时，电站需要完全关闭1。马吉预计关闭将在本周二或周三发生，恢复运行可能需要数周时间1。

帕克什核电站位于布达佩斯南部约90公里，其产能占匈牙利电力产量的近一半1。当前该电站产能仅965兆瓦，远低于正常水平的2000兆瓦1。这是该电站44年运营历史上首次面临完全停运1。为应对能源危机，政府已要求大型企业自愿减少能源消耗。能源集团MOL承诺将用电需求减少65兆瓦·小时，降幅达40%1。马吉还宣布暂停周一和周二的议会会议以节省能源1。

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced that the country's sole nuclear power facility, the Paks plant located approximately 90 kilometers south of Budapest, will undergo a complete shutdown for the first time in its 44-year operational history due to critically low water levels in the Danube River 1. The plant currently generates nearly half of Hungary's electricity but has already been reduced to less than half of its normal 2,000-megawatt capacity, now producing only 965 megawatts 1. Orbán projected the facility would be fully shut down by Tuesday or Wednesday 1, with restoration potentially requiring several weeks 1.

The crisis stems from prolonged drought conditions affecting Central Europe, which have caused the Danube's water level to drop to unprecedented levels 1. The river's water level is expected to fall to negative 144 centimeters, exceeding the previous record of negative 98 centimeters set in 2018 1. Full closure becomes necessary when water levels reach negative 134 centimeters 1. In response to the energy emergency, Hungary's MOL energy group committed to reducing electricity consumption by 65 megawatt-hours, representing a 40 percent reduction in its demand 1. Prime Minister Orbán additionally announced the suspension of parliamentary sessions scheduled for Monday and Tuesday to conserve energy 1.
