Nuclear energy is experiencing a resurgence in Europe as several countries shift their policies. Belgium has reversed its decision to phase out nuclear power, extending the lifespan of its reactors until 2035. This move reflects broader regional trends, with Germany, Italy, Poland, Denmark, and Spain reevaluating their nuclear strategies.

The EU operates 100 reactors, contributing nearly 25% of its electricity. While Belgium plans to keep its reactors operational, Poland is set to construct its first nuclear power plant.

This political climate indicates a renewed focus on nuclear energy amidst energy security concerns.
