Belgium mulls life extension for more reactors
The Belgian government is exploring the idea of extending the operational life of its three oldest reactors by two years, a variety of news outlets are reporting.
Those reactors—Units 1 and 2 at the Doel facility and Unit 1 at Tihange, sporting a combined capacity of 1,852 MWe—were slated to be permanently shuttered in 2025 in keeping with the country’s nuclear phase-out policy.

In late-2019 and early-2020, the NRC approved the first two subsequent license renewal (SLR) applications to allow operation up to 80 years. This marks a major achievement for this new regulatory process. This early success of the SLR regulatory process is due to innovative approaches by both the NRC and the utility applicants. This session will include a summary of the efforts that led up to the submittal and approval of the first SLR applications, lessons learned, and planning insights for future SLR applicants.
