Nuclear reactor Tihange 1 to cease operations after fifty years27 September 2025, https://www.belganewsagency.eu/nuclear-reactor-tihange-1-to-cease-operations-after-fifty-yearsNext Tuesday, the plug will be pulled on the Tihange 1 nuclear reactor after 50 years of service. Tihange 1 is the fourth Belgian nuclear reactor to be shut down, following the permanent shutdown of Doel 3, Tihange 2 and Doel 1. The two remaining reactors – Doel 4 and Tihange 3 – are allowed to operate for another ten years, until 2035. The government hopes to keep the reactor open for longer and is asking nuclear operator Engie not to carry out any irreversible work. Engie itself has repeatedly made it clear that it is not keen to operate any nuclear power plants other than Doel 4 and Tihange 3.
