The Paks Nuclear Power Plant has persistently strived to conceal the data measured by the line of buoys we found in the Danube a year and a half ago near the power plant.
According to the authority, the impacts of the continued operation of Paks NPP could affect most of Europe, but only a few municipalities in Hungary.
In a sudden turn of events, an invasive species of jellyfish appeared in the Danube River in June and July just below Paks, in the Fadd-Dombori oxbow lake.
Huge investments are underway in connection with Paks 2, which are not in line with the environmental permit. The responsible authority is lenient.
Experts say the environmental permit should be reviewed or withdrawn due to significant changes in conditions. The authority does not seem to care.
On 23 July 1996, the Danube in Hungary was 18-19°C. On 23 July 2022 it exceeded 26°C.
The Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority refused to comply with our freedom of information request.
The office of Mayor Gergely Karácsony used questionable procedures.
This is a collaborative bulletin researched by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project’s seven investigative outlets.
According to our on-site measurements, even the power reduction was not sufficient to allow the plant to maintain the 30 degree heat limit in the river Danube.
Our data request was rejected by the authorities several times. We got the data with the help of our reader and a technological solution.
