“LOL” indeed. Belgium has two nuclear power plants operating with a net capacity of 5,761 MWe. [55], In 2011 an industry-commissioned poll found that while a majority of Belgians supported the decision to phase out nuclear power.
They said the three were “model aircraft enthusiasts.” However, these three were suspected of conducting copycat drone flights.
All four reactors at the Tricastin nuclear power plant with a total capacity of 3,600 MW , were online at 0950 GMT, according data from French electricity grid operator RTE.
There are two commercial nuclear power plants operational with seven reactors: Both stations are operated by Electrabel. The site is to be actively monitored for 300 years, after which the radioactivity of the waste will have decreased by a factor 1,000. In 1999, the Belgian government appointed the AMPERE commission (Commission d'Analyse des Modes de Production d'Électricité et de Redéploiement des Énergies) to report on electricity demand and options for meeting it in the 21st century. For low and intermediate-level waste with a short half-life (less than 30 years) the cAt project was chosen in 2006.
“Our two reactors should be back online in the coming days, according the the next rainy periods,” the company said. The two oldest units at the Doel site (Doel 1 and Doel 2) were set to be closed in 2015.
In 1954 Belgium was one of the founding members of Cern, and three years later it was one of the original signatories of the Euratom Treaty. [54] Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann expects anti-nuclear petition drives to start in at least six European Union countries in 2012 with the goal of having the EU abandon nuclear power.

REUTERS/Francois Lenoir The scare provided a reminder that nuclear reactors are radiological mines that terrorists could exploit. And the concern is likely to grow louder following the broadcast of a documentary this week on German television alleging a series of near-accidents at the Tihange plant. The news site Spiegel Online, says that plant had been shut down four months ago reportedly due to sabotage. Thirteen OECD countries (Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria, Norway, Turkey, Portugal, Spain) joined forces to build a pilot nuclear reprocessing installation. [15][16], ONDRAF/NIRAS and SCK•CEN run the HADES underground laboratory through EIG EURIDICE (European Underground Research Infrastructure for Disposal of nuclear waste In Clay Environment). A couple of months prior to these results being published however the new government decided in July 2012 that only Tihange 1's lifetime would be extended to 2025.
[46], Jan Bens stated to the Belgian Chamber of Representatives in March that the flaws were hydrogen flakes. RFI is not responsible for the content of external websites. While many Belgians share their neighbors’ alarm, others feel that they are being used as a political punching bag by neighboring politicians looking to score cheap points. Tihange 2 is a 1008MWe reactor that began commercial operations in 1983.
This trade relationship resulted in Belgium being granted access to nuclear technology for civil purposes. Nuclear effluent contains less radioactivity over a larger volume and is dispersed into the environment. seven
[24] The following year a government appointed commission reported that nuclear power was important to Belgium and recommended further development. It also announced that reactor lifetimes would be limited to 40 years, and banned further reprocessing.
