Belgium has dropped nuclear phaseout plans adopted over two decades ago. Previously, it had delayed the phaseout for 10 years over the energy uncertainty triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Belgium’s parliament on Thursday voted to drop the country’s planned nuclear phaseout.
In 2003, Belgium passed a law for the gradual phaseout of nuclear energy. The law stipulated that nuclear power plants were to be closed by 2025 at the latest, while prohibiting the construction of new reactors.
In 2022, Belgium delayed the phaseout by 10 years, with plans to run one reactor in each of its two plants as a backup due to energy uncertainty triggered by Russia’s war in Ukraine.
GOOD. BUILD MORE. The newer generations of nuclear plants can recycle their own waste and are basically meltdown proof. It’s a no brainer. Shit is literally alchemy magic.

+120% cancer in children in the area…so worth it.
This is for the older plants. The newer plants are fundamentally different (Gen 3+). There are ways to mitigate these things.
in theory. yet show me one…
my numbers say sth. different
I don’t speak German. Generation 3+ only came into use in the West in the last 5-10 years. China has over 150 planned for a reason, watch the link I already provided. They are fundamentally built to avoid the accidents of the past. The standards set by the Chinese on this meet Western standards, hell, they are selling the tech to us.

More on China, because the YT link already covers this stuff:
and those convince you? you think these are prone to war, human error, terror etc?
You obviously haven’t read these or watched that video as that’s covered. It’s literally physics.
you re still not getting the point.
name (like write out the word) a successful new plant or an old plant thats safe.
all i hear from you is chinese propaganda
