A decisive step towards the nuclear power of tomorrow. Belgium is placing itself at the heart of European innovation!
In collaboration with our Italian and Romanian partners, we have just launched a consortium that will develop EAGLES-300, a lead-cooled 4th generation modular SMR reactor.
A safe, flexible and decarbonised technology. A 100% European project, supported by the EU.
A showcase of Belgian expertise thanks to SCK CEN. A demonstrator is expected in 2035, with commercialisation in 2039.
Developing new nuclear power means securing our energy future while reviving a strategic industrial sector. It means creating skilled jobs, boosting our scientific excellence and strengthening our technological sovereignty.
We have the skills, the tools and the will. It's time to turn this into a strength! The signing ceremony took place on the sidelines of the European Energy Council in Luxembourg, in the presence of Belgian Energy Minister Mathieu Bihet.
