Together for climate protection! In the fight against climate change nuclear power plants cannot be ignored.
Background of the project The story of Paks II. in short

Ten reasons for Paks II.

1.

Capacity maintenance

The two new Paks NPP units will maintain the nuclear power generation in the long run.

2.

Energy independence

We cannot rely on foreign power plants for our national security of supply.

3.

Security of supply

Electricity is always needed: night and day, winter and summer.

4.

Growing electricity demand

The national electricity consumption will rise about 1% per year.

5.

Competitiveness

Cheap electricity is of key importance.

6.

The fixed price means the amount of 12,5 bn EUR of the investment won’t be higher.

7.

Storable fuel

Nuclear fuel can be stored safely, in a small space in huge amounts, and can be bought from several sources.

8.

Energy sovereignty

The nuclear power plants contribute to the affordable price of domestic electricity significantly.

9.

Climate friendly

Nuclear power plants cannot be ignored in the fight against climate change.

10.

Nuclear safety

The new Paks units will be of the safest, generation 3+ technology.
