Hungary's Paks nuclear power plant, which produces nearly half of the country's electricity, has resumed full operation after low water levels in the Danube River affected its cooling capacity. The plant restarted its third reactor on Saturday and is expected to reach full capacity of 2000 megawatts by Wednesday. Emergency measures, including the construction of a weir and sinking of barges, were taken to raise the water level and enable the restart. The plant had been operating at reduced capacity since late July due to the drought and low water levels.
