After decades of paralysis and two referendums that pushed the country out of nuclear energy, the government has introduced a draft bill that officially opens the era of “sustainable atom.” The goal is to strengthen energy security through next-generation technologies, in line with other European countries.
Why it matters: Italy aims to diversify its energy sources and reduce dependence on foreign supplies, paving the way for new nuclear plants, waste management solutions, and the training of specialised expertise. Details: The draft bill sets the regulatory framework for a National Program on sustainable nuclear power.
