For the three oldest units, built in 1975, Doel 1 and 2 and Tihange 1, it seems obvious that they are not able to resist “the fall of a commercial airliner and a military plane representative”. But questions about the strength of these four reactors, the most recent, Doel 3 and 4, Tihange 2 and 3, also arise.
