Authorities are investigating the possibility that two explosions in March that put a major power transformer in Hainault out of order may have been caused by sabotage, as reports emerged that sabotage caused a nuclear reactor in Doel to shut down. Four of eight Belgian reactors are out of operation through the end of this year, reducing Belgium's energy supply by 25% and forcing the government to warn municipalities of power shortages this winter.
