The rare heatwave and drought that swept through Europe brought Hungary's only nuclear power plant to the brink of complete shutdown. Currently, Hungary is gradually increasing the power generation capacity of nuclear power plants, and plans to resume operation at full capacity by the middle of this week. Affected by the drought, Hungary's Pukës nuclear power plant was forced to shut down three nuclear reactors in the past month, and two of them have been restarted this weekend. As a result, the power output of nuclear power plants has rebounded from its lowest point of only one-tenth of total capacity to more than half.
