The Doel 2 nuclear reactor restarted last night | inland

An automatic stop at Doel 2 took place on Thursday around 9:45 am. This turned out to be the result of a short circuit in the control system of a control rod, Engie Electrabel reported. Initially the restart was scheduled on Friday at 9.45, but in the end it took place on Saturday.

On Monday, Tihange 3 also stopped unexpectedly. This left four of the six power plants running. The seventh plant – Doel 3 – was definitively disconnected from the network at the end of September and therefore no longer available.

The failure of Doel 2 on Thursday apparently caused little disruption to the electricity market. A lot of energy is available from solar panels, traders said.
