Nuclear power in the Netherlands

The Netherlands' only commercial nuclear reactor is Borssele nuclear power plant, which became operational in 1973 and as of 2011 produces 485 MW and about 4% of the country's electricity.

The older Dodewaard nuclear power plant was a test reactor that was later attached to the national grid but was closed in 1997. A 2 MW research reactor is located in Delft, as part of the physics department of Delft University of Technology. This reactor is not meant for energy provision, but is used as a neutron- and positron-source for research.
