Hungary's Paks nuclear power plant, which generates nearly half of the country's electricity, could be powered down as soon as this weekend due to record-low water levels on the Danube River, Prime Minister Peter Magyar said on Saturday.
He said the government would issue a decree seeking voluntary power demand cuts from large users and apply sanctions if these reductions are not met.
