Hungary watchdog withholds nuclear expansion permits, seeks further info,   BUDAPEST, Oct 1 (Reuters)
- Hungary's nuclear watchdog withheld permits for two new reactors at the Paks nuclear power plant pending additional information from the Russia-led project's managers, further hampering a planned expansion beset by years of delays...........................

Hungary has amended its nuclear safety protocols to allow some work to begin before the entire expansion - initially planned to start in 2018 and with the first bloc set for completion in 2025 - got the regulatory nod.

It was unclear how much more the latest setback could delay construction of a project still in its preliminary stages and on which Russia this year agreed to delay payments for five years. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/hungary-watchdog-withholds-nuclear-expansion-permits-seeks-further-info-2021-10-01/
