New Government Stands By Phaseout Plans, But Calls For Report On Security Of Supply :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Belgium’s new governing coalition will stand by its predecessors’ plans to shut down the country’s nuclear fleet in 2025 on condition that security of the country’ power supply will not be affected.
Plans to shut down Belgium’s seven commercial reactor units were enshrined in a law of 2003, then confirmed in 2015 and again in 2018. A commission was appointed to assess the impact of the phaseout but it has not yet reported back.
Following a general election in May 2019 the new administration was expected to consider the decision, but political parties were unable to form a federal government for more than a year.
