Hungary shuts down nuclear plant reactor due to equipment malfunction
Hungary has shut down a reactor at the Paks nuclear plant due to a malfunction in control equipment, according to national news agency MTI.
The malfunction does not pose any safety threats and the security system was not enacted, according to the National Nuclear Energy Office (HAEA).
Once the error is detected and corrected, operations will resume under the official supervision of the HAEA.
Located 5km (3.1 miles) from the city of Paks, central Hungary, and 100km (62 miles) from Budapest, the plant is the nation's only operating nuclear power station. Its four reactors produce more than 50 percent of the electrical power generated in the country.
