http//www.euronews.com/ Greenpeace are threatening to sue the Belgian government. The leading environmental activist network is threatening legal action after Belgiums nuclear safety regulator gave the green light to GDF Suez to go ahead and restart two nuclear reactors.However during a news conference the Belgian Interior Minister Joelle Milquet claimed that the government does not have the power to block the move.The independent regulator provides technical advice to an operator on the restarting of its operations. We do not have the ability to interfere in the decision because it is an independent operator he said.Last year two nuclear reactors were closed after safety concerns were flagged up in their their tanks during an ultrasound check.Greenpeace says it is the governments responsibility to guarantee the safety of the Belgian people.We will summon the government for the lack of decent emergency plan and at the same time they increase the risks of a nuclear accident says Greenpeace Belgium energy campaigner Eloi Glorieux.So while a legal battle may be brewing reactors Doel 3 and Tihange 2 could be back up and running within 3 weeks now that Belgiums nuclear watchdog claims all issues have been resolved.Find us on Youtube http//bit.ly/zr3upY Facebook http//www.facebook.com/euronews.fansTwitter http//twitter.com/euronews
