Belgium's Tihange 3 reactor restarts ahead of schedule after overhaul

Tihange 3 nuclear reactor resumed electricity production earlier than expected after a multi-month maintenance shutdown, according to operator Engie. The reactor, along with Doel 4, was granted a 10-year extension to 2035, and this restart marks completion of a major overhaul that began in April. The early return adds supply certainty to Belgium's power grid, though only two reactors remain operational.
