Belgian nuclear reactor shuts down three days after re-launch

‘A 40-year-old Belgian nuclear reactor has been shut down just three days after its re-launch in what is described as a “normal safety mechanism.”

Belgium’s power utility company Electrabel said the ageing Doel 1 reactor in north of the European country shut down on Saturday after it was restarted on December 30 and that there were no safety risks involved in the operation.

“Doel 1 automatically shut down at 6:00 pm,” said an Electrabel spokeswoman, explaining that the recent re-launch of the reactor came after it was originally shut down in February 2015 as part of the country’s new regulation that urges the phase out of nuclear power in Belgium.’
