Residents of Belgium will be given iodine-containing pills that can reduce the impact of radiation on the human body.

Head of Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Maggie De Block stated that the federal government extended a zone of antiradiation preventive distribution of tablets from 20 up to 100 kilometers  in the settlements adjacent to the nuclear centers. Thus, taking into account the location of the nuclear power plant in the Belgian Wallonia and Flanders, the entire population of the kingdom turned out to be in a potentially hazardous area.

Federal Minister of the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety of Germany, Barbara Hendricks called on the Belgian government to temporarily suspend the operation of the third nuclear reactor "blowing" in Belgian Flanders and the second nuclear power plant "Tihange" in Wallonia until last weekuntil evidence of their safety is provided. Previously, this was demanded by the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

The requirement of the neighboring countries caused concern in connection with a number of technical incidents that have been recently noted at the Belgian NPPs.
