Ondraf/Niras, the Belgian agency for the management of radioactive waste, has been granted a permit to construct and operate a surface disposal facility for low- and intermediate-level, short-lived waste at the Dessel site in Belgium. Meanwhile, a new facility will be built at the site to store non-conditioned waste.

Belgium’s Institute for Radioelements (IRE), a key producer of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) and iodine-131 (I-131) widely used in nuclear medicine, has complete conversion of its production process to low-enriched uranium (LEU). This has ended...

BR2 is one of the most powerful research reactors in the world contributing significantly to the global supply of medical radioisotopes and testing nuclear innovations. Since it began operating in 1962, it has been fuelled by highly enriched...

All major global molybdenum-99 production facilities are now using low-enriched uranium targets instead of proliferation-sensitive highly-enriched uranium following the completion of work to convert Belgium's National Institute of Radioelements medical isotope production facility.

Three low-enriched uranium fuel test assemblies have successfully been tested in Belgium's BR2 research reactor. The Belgian Nuclear Research Centre plans to fully convert the reactor from using highly-enriched uranium in 2026.

Belgium has strengthened safety at its BR2 research reactor by improving training, maintenance, ageing management and the safety of experiments, according to an International Atomic Energy Agency team of experts. The team also found the need for further safety enhancements to the reactor's organisational structure and operating rules and procedures.

The Belgian government has asked Engie to investigate whether the operation of the country's three oldest reactors - Doel units 1 and 2 and Tihange 1 - can be extended until 2027. The reactors are currently scheduled to shut down in 2025.
