    Update MINERVA/MYRRHA: 1st license is a fact

    Getting closer to the construction of MYRRHA's particle accelerator

    In September 2022, we established the zero point of the MINERVA plant on our site. In November, we prepared the site for construction works. And now, on Friday 9 December, we received formal approval from the Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (FANC) to effectively build the installation. This brings the start of MINERVA - the 1st phase of the MYRRHA programme - closer than ever before.
