Reuters: The Hungarian government is considering continuing the expansion of Paks without Rosatom.

The Hungarian government is considering replacing Rosatom as the main contractor for the Paks nuclear power plant expansion amid a project review. Sources indicate that all options are being evaluated, including the technical and financial implications of changing suppliers. While the government acknowledges the necessity of the expansion, it believes Rosatom should not be involved. The project, initially contracted in 2014, has faced delays and multiple amendments, with completion now projected for the mid-2030s. The new government is reviewing contracts and the project's strategic justification. Rosatom claims they are proceeding according to the agreed schedule and have not been informed of any intention to terminate the contract.
