Belgium stops decommissioning nuclear power plants

Belgium will stop decommissioning its nuclear power plants, Prime Minister Bart De Wever announced on Thursday.

The government is going to negotiate with operator ENGIE over the nationalization of the plants, De Wever said.

"This government chooses safe, affordable, and sustainable energy. With less dependence on fossil imports and more control over our own supply," he wrote on X.
