Hungary faces billions in compensation if Paks II nuclear deal with Rosatom is cancelled

Hungarian nuclear expert Zsolt Hárfás warns that cancelling the Paks II expansion, contracted with Russia's Rosatom, could trigger multi-billion-euro compensation liabilities. The existing Paks reactors are already strained by severe droughts this year, adding pressure to the decision. The claim is an expert assessment, not an official government position, and the financial exposure is uncertain.
