This was the main reason for heading out there, as soon as I saw this posted a couple of months back I knew I had to see it. And by crikey what a place, it's instantly gone in my top 3 industrial explores ever. I hadn't had a feeling like walking into this place since the first time I stepped foot in Pyestock some 2+ years ago.

Also a note, we did this on a baking hot day - the only baking hot day of the trip - and I was wearing a white t-shirt, I emerged from the place a few hours later with the shirt closer to black than white. So try and wear something dark....

Also I suffered mega tripod fail so unfortunately a lot of my photos came out wank - luckily viewing them in 800px hides most of the shoddiness. And having just whacked my head proper hard on a concrete truss I wasn't feeling the cooling tower access. Which means I want to go back.

Peeking over the hill...there's our prize

Thanks for looking, more here if you can stomach the general fuzziness.

Amazing images! Thanks for posting!

Hope your head is better too! :lol:
 
Verrrry nice.

Looks almost as if it has been mothballed, rather than decommissioned.
It is the coalfired one at Charleroi, so that would appear to be a strong possibility. Belgium has stated that it is it is getting out of nuclear power generation by 2015 and of the two nuclear plants earmarked for shut down, one (two reactors) is located between Charleroi and Liège. :GEEK:
