According to the Danish News Channel
Three men from Kosovo have been arrested by German police, they came from Belgium.

My heart goes out to all those hurt or killed in Brussels today.

Yeah this was a standard procedure that was misreported. Staffing was cut to essentials in order to make the job of securing the plant easier. Completely normal for heightened security.

Checkpoints on the way back from Liege by the border.

Our security has gone up a few levels for the Brussels HQ and various installations.

Nuclear power plants are protected against hits by air liners I believe. Hence an external terrorist attack would be difficult to pull off.

What they could try to do is to gain control over the power plant and go through the procedure of shutting down the fail safes and then initiating the melt down. This would require however intricate knowledge of the powerplant desighn (in order to turn off the fail safes and initiate melt down) as well as both time (going though the procedure would require it) and firepower (to secure the powerplant).

This makes nuclear terrorism very difficult to pull off. It would be much easier to conduct an attack on some form of chemical industry - chlorine gas kills just the same as it did during the WW1.
