Dr. Attila Aszódi, Government Commissioner for the maintenance of the performance of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant held a lecture regarding the actualities of the Paks II. project on 21 November 2016 for the strongly interested students of Széchenyi István University in Győr.

The almost 200 students and their teachers were seated in the Mobilis Interactive Exhibition Centre’s lecture hall, completely filling it. They could gain some insight into the world of climate-friendly electricity generation and the e-mobility, and they also learnt some news about the current situation of the preparation for the construction of the new nuclear power plant units. After finishing the 70 minutes long presentation, the government commissioner answered several – professional – questions in great detail. Dr. Attila Aszódi noted, he’ll find an occasion to meet those 150-200 further interested who couldn’t get into the hall due to its limited capacity.

As part of the Paks II. project, every visitor could gain insight into the safety parameters of the new power plant units, the environmental effects of the construction and the operation, the importance of the project’s economic and energetic importance. The visiting guests could see the construction photos of similar nuclear power plants and by watching the a short video, they could also learn something new about the chosen power plant unit. Free, takeaway publications were also part of this exhibition, and everyone could test their previous or newly gained knowledge on quiz machines, and by riding the energy-producing bicycle, one could feel how hard is to produce enough energy to operate a household appliance. Former professionals of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant guided the visitors through the exhibition and answered the emerging questions.

During the 73 days of the autumn-winter roundtrip almost 25.000 people visited the interactive exhibition. The photos shot at the various locations can be seen on the project company’s Facebook page
