AKW Paks 2.
On Tuesday, Foreign Trade Minister Péter Szijjártó received Rosatom boss Alexei Likhachev in Budapest. The preparatory construction work for the new Paks nuclear power plant is progressing according to plan, both assured at a press conference.
“The first concrete will flow into the ground at the end of the year,” confirmed the Foreign Trade Minister. At the same time, the production of nuclear devices and reactor vessels began in Russia. A German company is ramming a total of 75,000 support pillars into the ground over 17 hectares, 8,000 have been completed, and this work will continue until the summer of 2025. “If these drillings were not carried out on Earth but on Pluto and lined up one following the other, then we might penetrate to the core of the planet,” Szijjártó tried to illustrate the relationships. “Work on the major Paks project is progressing at a good pace and systematically. We are sticking to our plan to bring the two new reactor blocks online at the beginning of the next decade.” The multiple crises of recent years have proven that only those states that can independently cover their energy needs can feel safe.
Paks 2. nuclear power plant is a truly international project, explained Likhatchow, because Rosatom employs partners from Germany, France, Austria, Sweden and the USA as subcontractors.
