NUCLEAR POWER IN THE NETHERLANDS

At present 6 percent of the electricity produced in the Netherlands is generated by
 means of nuclear energy. The other 94 percent is generated mainly by gas-, oil- 
and coal-fired stations.
The first commercial nuclear reactor was commissioned in 1968 and the second one 
in 1973. The possibility of expanding the share of nuclear-generated electricity to at 
least 30 percent of the total electricity production has been discussed several times in 
the last fifteen years. Since the accident at Chjernobyl the majority of people in the 
Netherlands feels quite uncomfortable about the apparently large consequences of 
safety risks of certain reactor types. New research will have to show that these risks 
can be avoided, or that they can be made sufficiently small. A decision is not to be 
expected before 1991.

1968: BWR - Dodewaard 54 MWe
1973: PWR - Borssele 485 MWe

Nuclear research reactors are operating at Delft University and at the Netherlands 
Energy Research Foundation ECN at Petten.
