Paks 2 Construction Licence Could Be Issued In Spring 2021 :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Paks 2 Construction Licence Could Be Issued In Spring 2021 :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Planning for two Generation III+ nuclear power plants at the Paks 2 nuclear site in Hungary has not been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic with a construction licence expected in the spring of 2021, the minister responsible for planning, construction and commissioning of the units said.

According to press reports in Hungary, János Süli told parliament’s economic committee that significant progress had been made in the last year.

In July, Paks II, the company leading the project, submitted a licence application for construction of the two plants to the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority (HAEA). In October it submitted its application for an implementation licence for the new units. That licence, if granted, will show that the two reactors planned for the site will meet requirements set out in the Hungarian Electricity Act.
