17/07/2013 (Agence Europe) - Green light for Dutch loan for construction of Pallasnuclear power station. On 17 July, the European Commission authorised a Dutch state loan of up to €80 million for construction of the first stage of the Pallas nuclear reactor to replace the current reactor in Petten (Northern Holland) that provides radio-isotopes for medical use. The first phase of this public utility project did not manage to attract sufficient private funding. (FG/transl.fl)
