Nuclear power in Hungary

The then 2 MWe reactor has been refurbished and modified several times over the last decades, and after its recent conversion its capacity has increased to 10 MW.[5] Originally, these plants had expected lives of 30 years; however, the Hungarian government decided to complete 20-year life extension projects on the reactors.For the spent fuel that is not reprocessed, it is kept at the nuclear reactor site for five years in pools and then sent to dry storage.Additionally, in 2005 the residents of Bátaapáti, in South Hungary, approved construction plans for low and intermediate-level waste storage facility.[8] In January 2014, the Russian President and Hungarian Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orbán agreed to build two VVER reactor units at the Paks Nuclear Power Plant.
