	Fizikai Szemle 1999/5 - Tamás Katona: THE PAKS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
		But our main reason is to present Paks Nuclear Power Plant due to scientific invention and technical development, as not a technical acquisition of a declined atomic age, but as a clean source of electric power that meets current modern requirements and that tan be operated safely for many years to come.
		The nuclear power plant not only affected the innovation directly linked to the operation, but also gave inspiration to nuclear research activities and was the mentor of several RandD topics and educational projects.
		However, our conception of safety of the nuclear power Plant is not static: new scientific knowledge, operating experiences may discover new aspects of safety and we have to be prepared to solve new problems in the new millennium.
