The Netherlands has created a new body called the Nuclear Energy Organisation Netherlands (NEO NL) under its Ministry of Climate and Green Growth that will serve to prepare, deliver and operate new nuclear power reactors in the country.

According to the government, NEO NL’s main task will be to build two new nuclear reactors both at the same location and each with at least 1,000 MW* capacity, which would provide the equivalent of electricity to around two million homes.

NEO NL would be responsible for every aspect of the delivery of the power plants from preparation and selection of constructors and suppliers, through to the operation of the plants.
