Luxembourg reaffirms opposition to runtime extension

The Luxembourg government has reiterated its opposition to extending the operational life of the Cattenom nuclear power plant. The government remains concerned that the plant's operator, EDF, has not adequately addressed all safety issues.

According to a government statement, Luxembourg believes that EDF needs to enhance its safety standards to match those of modern nuclear facilities, implement more advanced technologies, and improve emergency management plans. Overall, the government maintains its position that aging nuclear plants, including Cattenom and Tihange, should be decommissioned.
