pressurized water reactor s with a total capacity of 2839 MWe, making it the second largest nuclear power plant in Belgium, afterNuclear Plant Tihange . Its four units are rated as follows:
*Doel 1 : 392 MWe
*Doel 2 : 433 MWe
*Doel 3 : 1006 MWe
*Doel 4 : 1008 MWeDoel 1 and 2 came online in 1975, while Doel 3 and 4 came online in 1982 and 1985, respectively.
