Belgian regulator approves restart of Doel-3 and Tihange-2

摘要

Belgium's nuclear safety regulator has given approval for GDF Suez to restart two nuclear reactors closed last year over safety concerns. The Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (FANC) released a statement saying it considers that Doel-3 and Tihange-2, both pressurised water reactor units, can be restarted safely. They added that all of the safety concerns had been resolved satisfactorily following a "thorough review" of safety case documents provided by operator Electrabel, a subsidiary of France's GDF Suez.
