Doel is a small town in Belgium which is famous for its nuclear power plant. In recent years, the town became a ghost town after the government released plans to expand the harbor of Antwerp in the direction of Doel. Although the expansion was not yet certain, many inhabitants took the offer of selling their houses to the district. Currently the town is filled with squatters, so the term ghost town is not totally accurate, but the overall look of the town is really surreal.

This is a picture of the nuclear power plant which is right next to the center of the town.
