The Belgian government agreed in principle on Thursday to close its nuclear power plants by 2025, but left open the possibility of extending the life of two reactors if it could not otherwise ensure energy supply.
After talks through the night, ministers settled on a compromise whereby the last existing nuclear power plant should close in 2025, joining other countries such as Germany that are also phasing out the technology. The government will now wait until March 15 to see if the permit is granted and, if not, look into other options, including other contract bidders.
Belgium will also invest €100-million over four years in research into nuclear power technology, emphasizing smaller modular reactors and possibly co-operating with France and the Netherlands.
