The Tihange nuclear power station is causing concern amongst residents living nearby, local politicians say.

Belgium’s interior minister met their elected representatives on Tuesday.

The Belgian government will set up a group of experts to look into safety concerns.

A reactor was switched off on Tuesday for checks. They were similar interruptions last year.
