The domestic proponents of nuclear power (which included most of my physicist teachers BTW) long praised the security record of Hungary's only nuclear power plant at Paks (a four-block installation). Until one day... in April 2003, during chemical cleaning of the fuel rods in block 2, there was a sudden run of overheating, which damaged most of the fuel rods. (It was classified a level 3 accident on the 0-7 accident scale.)

It took one and a half years before the reactor was started again. With the damaged fuel rods left in it. However, ever since, an alliance of environmental groups is trying to get the power plant to release the experts' risk studies which they used to get permission to run again. An attempt stonevalled by the power plant in court with techicalities ever since...
