So? All nuclear fuel is still coming from outside the country. That's like nationalizing all faucets in peoples homes and claiming you secured access to clean water.
So? Having to rent your faucets from some company would mean less control, owning them is more control. Can the water company screw you over, sure, nobody is denying that. But only one company having the opportunity to screw you over is better than two.
I assume "nationalizing" doesn't mean "seize with minimal compensation (if any)". Have fun paying Putin for those uranium rods and maintaining your severely outdated nuclear plants.

Smart move. Give decades of profits to others, then nationalize to move all the risk and hundreds of years of waste safekeeping to the taxpayer.

Are there any famous uranium mines in Belgium that I missed?

They mean energy supply.

As I said here: The energy supply is still 100 % depended on imports regardless of who owns the gas or nuclear power plant.

The key word is "more", not "full".
Perfect is the enemy of good, eh.

They are beyond their expiry date. The owner has a fund aside for its decommissioning.
I'm guessing that not only do we pay to take over, the current owner also gets to keep the massive fund.
