It's way too much !

Yes much too ... but Belgians like to pay too much, I think ...!?!

Just compare the internet and telecoms offers Belgium VS France to understand how the Belgian is smoking but good!

After Belgium is advantageous on France on other points ... like banks ... there France begins to abuse, for example with the current account paid from the 1 / 1 / 16 ...

Antiradiation pills for all Belgians

By Cyril Fourneris 29 / 04 / 2016

Nuclear risk is taken very seriously in Belgium. The eleven million Belgians will receive preventive iodine pills, supposed to protect the thyroid against radioactivity in the event of a nuclear accident.

The measure already existed but it only concerned people living in a perimeter of 20 km around the two Belgian nuclear power plants. This perimeter was enlarged to 100 km by the High Council of Health and encompasses the whole of the Plat-Country.

Belgium has refused this month to stop two of its seven reactors, as claimed by its neighbors German and Luxembourg. The tanks have thousands of micro-cracks.

For the country's nuclear control agency (FANC), power plants meet "the most stringent safety requirements"

Belgium: IAEA makes recommendations for the operation of Doel

AFP published on Feb 23. 2017

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Thursday urged Belgium to take into account all technical aspects related to the aging of its Doel plant, which is planned to operate until 2025.

"The plant must ensure that all systems, structures and components are integrated within the scope of aging management during the period of long-term operation," the agency said in a statement after '' an on-site inspection. The Belgian Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (AFCN) in October 2015 gave the green light to a ten-year extension, until 2025, of the country's two oldest reactors, Doel 1 and Doel 2 (north), which entered into service in 1975.

IAEA inspectors, who visited the site in mid-February, noted "significant progress in terms of aging management and preparation for safe long-term operation." However, the power plant operated by Electrabel (a subsidiary of the French group Engie, formerly GDF Suez), must "finalize the review and update of aging management programs for structures and civilian components," notes the agency UN based in Vienna.

Belgium plans a gradual exit from nuclear power, which should extend to 2025. The aging of its nuclear fleet, some of whose reactors have undergone a series of unplanned shutdowns and incidents in recent months, has been controversial for several years, primarily in the neighboring countries of Germany, the Netherlands and the Netherlands. Luxembourg. The Doel 3 and Doel 4 reactors were not concerned by the visit of the IAEA experts.

ENGIE: the debate resumes on Belgian nuclear

18th June 2018

Difficult trading session for Engie the 18 June, with a title that falls heavily from 3,3% to 13,46 euros, after the announcement of yet another bad news on the Belgian nuclear fleet. Explanations.

Engie's business does not work out in Belgium. The energy company announced this morning that its subsidiary Electrabel will record a shortfall of 250 million euros on its results 2018, because of the new scheduled revisions to the Tihange 2 and Doel 4 reactors and the extension of the shutdown of the Tihange 3 reactor. In cumulative terms, this represents approximately seven months of non-exploitation. Tihange 3, off since 31 March, should have come back online on July 1er. But the deterioration of the concrete of one of the buildings of the site requires new maintenances, which will shift the restart at 30 September.

Three years of losses


When Engie (still called Suez) took control of Electrabel 1998, the group probably did not expect the accumulation of setbacks suffered by the Belgian in its nuclear activity. In recent years, the group's reactors have increased the length of maintenance stops. As a result, Electrabel posted three consecutive years of operating losses: -111,6 million euros in 2015, then -923 million euros in 2016 and -857 million euros last year. The availability of the fleet has however reached 80% in 2017 (not far from the recent average of the French fleet, 82 to 83%).

Engie has started to reflect on the future of its subsidiary. In a press release issued on May 18 in response to rumors of a sharp reduction in scope, the group confirmed that it "is analyzing a number of options for its activities in Belgium with a view to strengthening their territorial anchoring. ". A cryptic announcement which does not give much grain to grind, except when it is supplemented by the mention of a refocusing "on a perimeter of which Belgium would be the center of gravity". If one reads between the lines, the days of the division's international assets are numbered. On the other side of the border, they castigate a parent company which collects dividends but which is accused of abandoning its subsidiary. But by the way, what is Electrabel's name?

Seven nuclear reactors

Electrabel, which supplies 46% of Belgian electricity, counts 4 300 employees for a production capacity of 9 667 MW (figures at the end 2017). The generation consists of 62% of seven pressurized water nuclear reactors distributed between Doel and Tihange. At Doel, two reactors of 433 MW were commissioned in 1975 and two more of a little more than 1.000 MW in 1982 and 1985. Their theoretical closing dates range from October 1er 2022 to 1er December 2025. At Tihange, three reactors of 962 MW (Tihange 1), 1 008 MW (Tihange 2) and 1 038 MW (Tihange 3) have been commissioned in 1975, 1983 and 1985, respectively. Their theoretical life will be between 1er June 2023 and 1er October 2025. No reactor has been built since 1985.

Electrabel also operates 619 MW (6,4% of the total) of renewable energies and has holdings in the group's international assets, resulting from the acquisition of International Power. At 31 last December, the net book value amounted to 32,75 billion euros. International Power represents two-thirds of the total net book value of the related investments in the accounts.

Nuclear: the Belgian government confirms the shutdown in 2025 of the country's seven reactors (government source)

AFP 23 December 2021

Belgium will shut down its current seven nuclear reactors as planned by 2025, but is not closing the door to new generation nuclear power, according to an agreement reached Thursday morning between the partners of the government coalition.

A government source confirmed to AFP this agreement reached after a night of negotiations. It provides for "an investment of around 100 million euros in research on small modular reactors" (SMR), said this source.

in short instead of doing big dangerous bullshit, they will do a lot of small, no less dangerous in the event of glitches or major accidents. To us the little Chernobyls and Fukushima. There will be plenty of them everywhere so no one will be spared. This is the new plan to decrease the world population in addition to the covid pseudovaccine!
