    Smart move. Give decades of profits to others, then nationalize to move all the risk and hundreds of years of waste safekeeping to the taxpayer.

    Nationalise the costs of decommissioning and imparities. Belgian taxpayers saddled yet again with someone else’s (read, some private party) debt…

    Are there any famous uranium mines in Belgium that I missed?

        As I said here: The energy supply is still 100 % depended on imports regardless of who owns the gas or nuclear power plant.

        So? All nuclear fuel is still coming from outside the country. That’s like nationalizing all faucets in peoples homes and claiming you secured access to clean water.

    I assume “nationalizing” doesn’t mean “seize with minimal compensation (if any)”. Have fun paying Putin for those uranium rods and maintaining your severely outdated nuclear plants.
