Hungarian Foreign Ministry Peter Szijjártó said on his Facebook page that the European Commission (EC) had approved the changes made by Hungary and Russia to the documents on the Paks II NPP project, which will allow the construction of two new nuclear reactors with the participation of Rosatom to continue. "The European Union has approved changes to contracts for the construction of new power units at the Paks nuclear power plant. The amendments have received a green light from the European Commission, and this will allow the power units of the Paks nuclear power plant to be commissioned in the next decade,” he said. “At the same time, the highest nuclear safety standards will be applied during construction.”

A grant of €23m ($25m) has been allocated from the Environmental Remediation Account for Central Asia (ERA), managed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for remediation of Mailuu-Suu in Kyrgyzstan. This is one of the largest and most heavily contaminated uranium legacy sites in Central Asia. The grant – the largest since the establishment of the ERA – will help to stabilise and cover more than 2m cubic metres of radioactive tailings. Approximately 350,000 cubic metres tailings need to be relocated from the Mailuu-Suu River to a safe disposal site. This will prevent toxic material spreading into the Fergana Valley, which has a population of more than 15m.
