Italy revives nuclear energy after four decades
The Italian Senate has passed a law allowing the country to resume nuclear energy development after nearly 40 years of abandonment, with the aim of protecting the economy from rising energy prices and reducing dependence on foreign suppliers. The law does not currently permit the construction of reactors but lays the groundwork for future projects. It is expected to take a long time before nuclear power plants are built and operational. This move is part of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's policy, despite opposition from other parties preparing to challenge future projects when it comes to determining potential sites for reactors and radioactive waste storage. Italy officially halted its nuclear activities permanently in 1990 following a referendum in 1987, in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster.
