Reuters: The government is considering replacing Rosatom at the helm of the Paks investment

The Hungarian government is considering replacing Rosatom as the main contractor for the Paks Nuclear Power Plant expansion and has begun searching for alternative suppliers. Sources indicate that all scenarios are possible regarding the review process, which will assess the legal, technical, financial, and timing implications of a potential supplier change. While the government believes the expansion is necessary, it suggests that Rosatom should not be involved. Rosatom stated it continues to follow the agreed schedule with Hungary and has not received any official notice regarding contract termination. The project's costs have already exceeded initial estimates, and legal challenges from the EU further complicate the situation.
