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.

      Name (like write out the word) a new plant that isn’t safe.

      Every power source has issues. Installing solar panels onto houses is more dangerous than nuclear. Large scale solar is safer, though not significantly, and thar includes all nuclear disasters of the past, and it also doesn’t include waste that we’ll have to deal with in the future like we’re already doing with nuclear.

          I don’t speak German.

          All sources of power cause some amount of harm. Is it comparing it to other sources? Coal power plants throw radioactive waste into the air. Is it worse than that? I doubt it.
