Energy Minister Van der Straeten wants to keep nuclear reactor Tihange 2 open for a month longer than planned

It is in her winter plan, which was delivered to the coalition partners yesterday, that the minister proposes to keep nuclear reactor Tihange 2 open longer if that proves possible. “But a nuclear power plant is still not a biscuit factory. Keeping such a power station open for longer, which actually has a date on which it absolutely must close because there are cracks in it, is not easy. That is why the nuclear safety authority FANC must first consider whether Tihange can stop longer. 2 is possible in the field of nuclear safety. Only on that basis can a decision be made,” says the minister.
