Hungary’s national parliament has supported plans to allow using nuclear fuel from alternative sources to Russia for the Russian-built Paks nuclear power station, according to an unconfirmed report by the state Tass news agency.
According to Tass, lawmakers approved on Thursday (23 November) an amendment to the country’s nuclear energy strategy, proposed by the government.
The amendment says that “the [Paks] NPP may use a different, alternative fuel from another company, including during the extended period of its operation”.
