Nuclear Power: A Sustainable Future or a Risky Bet?

Is nuclear energy part of the climate solution or a dangerous detour? Few topics divide experts and policymakers more. This visit to Hungary’s only nuclear power plant—responsible for half the country’s electricity—puts you face-to-face with the facts.
Start at the interactive Visitor Centre, where hands-on exhibits unpack the science behind nuclear power: from radiation and reactor cores to waste management and the global energy mix. Then head inside the operational zone to see the turbine hall, peer into the control room, and walk a 33-metre-high glass corridor overlooking the reactors themselves. It’s an in-depth experience designed to spark debate and challenge assumptions. Should a country depend so heavily on one energy source? Was shutting down nuclear in places like Germany a mistake? You decide.
