Paks is a small town in Tolna county, in the south of Hungary, on the right bank of the Danube River, 100&nbsp;km south of Budapest. Paks as a former agricultural settlement is now the home of the only Hungarian nuclear power plant, which provides about 50% of the country's electricity consumption.
