The French Ministry of Energy Transition has greenlighted the participation of French companies in the construction of two new power units for the Paks-2 Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in Hungary together with Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom, APA reports citing Le Monde newspaper.
The newspaper quoted sources as saying that "the French government has given the authorization to Framatome" for the construction of two new power units in the absence of sanctions against Russia in the nuclear industry.
Currently, Paks generates almost half of all electricity in Hungary, with the share due to double after the planned commissioning of the new reactors. The Hungarian authorities consider nuclear energy as the best way to ensure the country's energy security.
