During the second half of the press breakfast came the journalists’ questions. The dozens of representatives of the national, local and regional media asked about several topics. They were mostly about the effect on Danube, alternative cooling solutions, drawdown of the credit line, return on project and the 40% domestic participation. During the pleasant conversation all of the journalists’ questions were answered.

Minister without portfolio János Süli answered to a question from a Member of Parliament: the construction of the new NPP units could only begin with the implementation license. Building construction facilities and landscaping work can start before, once the permits have been acquired. The nuclear sector is characterized by such strict regulations, that even the construction of a bicycle storage facility at the site of the nuclear power plant is also subject to authorization – he added.

János Süli reminded everyone that the implementation license application is not only investigated by the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority, but by international experts as well, therefore everyone can be reassured that Paks II. nuclear power plant will meet all the requirements and thus be one of the safest nuclear power plants in Europe.

The minister recalled: Paks II. project currently has over 320 licenses. The project company provided the Contractor with a work area for the construction of the first facilities of the construction and erection base, while the professionals are already working on the implementation license application, the largest and most complex licensing step in the implementation of the project. The documentation of about 300,000 pages is intended to prove that the new Paks units will be safe and meet the latest strictest domestic and EU requirements.
