LMP calls for cancelling Paks nuclear power station expansion contract

Opposition LMP has submitted a bill to parliament with the aim of cancelling the contract for expanding Hungary's sole nuclear power station in Paks, the party's group leader said on Thursday. "Nuclear energy is neither cheap nor safe," Laszlo Lorant Keresztes said in Pecs, in southern Hungary, on the tenth anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. LMP wants preparatory works for the expansion project to be stopped, he added.
