Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that the government signed an accord with Belarus to help build Hungary’s second nuclear plant.
Nuclear power plant Paks 2 has been under construction by Russia’s Rosatom since 2014. The Russian company is building two reactors with a capacity of 1.200 MW each in central Hungary.
-Of great importance is the agreement signed here today on nuclear energy cooperation, which allows us to use the experiences Belarus gained here while constructing reactors with similar technology – Szijjarto said, without providing further details on the accord.
The 12.5-billion-euro project has experienced long delays, even though nuclear power is not covered by European Union sanctions against Russia, imposed over the war in Ukraine, Reuters reported.
