Closure of Dutch nuclear plant postponed - paper

  • 23/12/2000

Closure of the Netherlands' only operating nuclear power plant has been postponed for the time being pending the outcome of court hearings, a Dutch newspaper reported last week. Evening newspaper NRC Handelsblad said that electricity generator EPZ, which owns the 450 megawatt power station in Borssele, is contesting that it reached an agreement in 1994 with the Dutch government to close the plant.
