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

Hungary plans to sink two barges near a nuclear power plant to raise water levels in the Danube River to ensure cooling. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.

According to Reuters, the measure is necessary to ensure the efficient operation of the nuclear power plant's cooling system. A drop in water levels in the Danube could threaten the plant's cooling system, so Hungarian authorities plan to sink barges to address the issue.

This method will raise water levels in the river, ensuring the safe operation of the nuclear power plant. Hungarian authorities plan to implement this measure in the near future.
