Belgian central goal Sunday off

target - The Belgian nuclear reactor Doel 4 was automatically closed due to a defect on Saturday evening. This means that the entire Doel nuclear power station, which is almost at the Dutch border to the north-west of Antwerp, has now failed.

According to Belgian media, there is a problem in the non-nuclear part of the plant. A spokeswoman for the nuclear power plant said that the disconnection is a standard procedure and that there is no danger whatsoever for the environment, the population or the power supply. It is assumed that the reactor will start again on Sunday evening.

Belgian nuclear power plants are at home and abroad controversial because of their age and defects.
