Nuclear power plants are not prepared for climate change. Nuclear energy is one of the largest consumers of water.
“The current throttling of the Hungarian Paks nuclear power plant shows once again that nuclear power plants are not prepared for climate change. Because the number of days that a number of nuclear power plants have to be shut down or throttled because the rivers are too warm is constantly increasing,” says Martin Litschauer , anti-nuclear spokesman for the Greens.
Flammable experiment
This confirms that the expansion of the Paks risk reactor, which is only 130 kilometers from Austria, is a very dangerous experiment, not only because of the earthquake fault lines. Especially since the Danube, which is indispensable for reactor cooling, will become even warmer due to climate change and will soon be able to transport much less water.
It is therefore beyond dispute: contrary to all claims, nuclear reactors are by no means reliable power generators in the summer. On the contrary: nuclear power plants are the largest consumers of water in the EU: they evaporate Austria’s total consumption, four times as much as the water in Lake Neusiedl!
