N-VA pressures Belgian energy minister on nuclear revival after Doel 2 shutdown

demorgen.be (Dutch)

N-VA urges Energy Minister Mathieu Bihet to accelerate Belgium's nuclear revival following the permanent shutdown of the Doel 2 reactor. The party demands a concrete future plan for nuclear energy, noting that neighboring countries are progressing while Belgium's direction remains unclear. Doel 2 was disconnected from the grid, likely permanently, due to high renovation costs and new safety regulations. Five of Belgium's seven reactors are now offline, with only Doel 4 and Tihange 3 still operating under a ten-year extension agreement. N-VA questions how the government will achieve its goal of 4 gigawatts of nuclear power with only these two reactors.
