The nuclear authority decided on four key license applications and published the related resolutions on its website on 4 November 2025.
The HAEA reviewed the revised technical documentation and issued construction licenses for the control building, auxiliary building and technological service building of Unit 5. The authority also made a positive decision regarding the partial commissioning license for soil improvement of the nuclear island of Unit 5.
Obtaining these licenses is a crucial step toward starting concreting works, including the construction of the foundation slab of the nuclear island of Unit 5. The Paks II project’s symbolic milestone, the first concrete pouring, is expected to take place in February 2026.
