NUCLEAR SABOTAGE IN EUROPE?

[Geee]

Powerline:

Here’s a curious story out of Belgium that is receiving no media attention (outside a few mentions in the specialized press) in the US:

 

Belgian Doel-4 Nuclear Reactor Closed Till Year-End

 

PARIS, Aug 14 (Reuters) – Belgian energy company Electrabel said its Doel 4 nuclear reactor would stay offline at least until the end of this year after major damage to its turbine, with the cause confirmed as sabotage. . .

 

The shutdown of Doel 4′s nearly 1 gigawatt (GW) of electricity generating capacity as well as closures of two other reactors (Doel 3 and Tihange 2) for months because of cracks in steel reactor casings adds up to just over 3 GW of Belgian nuclear capacity that is offline, more than half of the total. . .

 

Energy experts have raised the spectre of possible blackouts this winter and say Belgium will have to boost interconnection capacity with neighbouring countries to prevent power shortages.

 

A GDF Suez spokesman confirmed Belgian press reports about suspicion of sabotage.

 

“There was an intentional manipulation,” he said, adding that somebody had tampered with the system used for emptying oil from the Alstom-made turbine.
