Hungary proposes temporarily exceeding Danube water temperature limit at Paks nuclear plant due to climate change impact.

With climate change pushing water temperatures above the limit, the energy ministry proposes allowing temporary exceedances with the minister's approval, to prevent operational shutdowns.
