The Paks Nuclear Power Plant (Hungarian: Paksi atomerőmű) is located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the small town of Paks, central Hungary, 100km southwest of Budapest on the shores of the Danube river. [1] It is the first and only operating nuclear power station in Hungary. In 2019, its four reactors produced more than 50% of Hungary's ...
The first Hungarian nuclear reactor was built at Csillebérc (located in Budapest's 12th district) in 1959. The then 2 MWe reactor has been refurbished and modified several times over the last decades, and after its recent conversion its capacity has increased to 10 MW. The reactor was primarily used for research purposes, as well as for the ...

Hungary had, in 2017, four operating nuclear power reactors, constructed between 1982 and 1987, at the Paks Nuclear Power Plant. [2] An agreement in 2014 with the EU and an agreement between Hungary and Rosatom may result in an additional two reactors being built for operation in 2030. The cost, estimated at €12.5bn, being funded mainly by ...
This single nuclear power plant provides more than half of Hungary's electrical power. An expansion is currently planned to add an additional two 1200 MW VVER reactors, allowing for Hungary to decrease its carbon emissions and potentially become one of the cleanest electricity generators in Europe, along with France and Sweden.
This is a list of all the commercial nuclear reactors in the world, sorted by country, with operational status. The list only includes civilian nuclear power reactors used to generate electricity for a power grid. All commercial nuclear reactors use nuclear fission. As of December 2024, there are 419 operable power reactors in the world, with a ...
The list only includes civilian nuclear power reactors used to generate electricity for a power grid. All commercial nuclear reactors use nuclear fission. As of May 2021, there are 180 operable power reactors in Europe, with a combined electrical capacity of 159.36 GW. [1] There are currently 8 power reactors under construction in Europe. [2]
