Italy Senate approves plan to restart nuclear power, reversing 1987 ban
Straits Times·IT·1 day ago
Italy's Senate approved legislation permitting construction of new-generation nuclear reactors, reversing a post-Chernobyl ban that led to decommissioning of all plants. The law enables a phased return to nuclear energy, though implementation details and timelines remain uncertain. This marks a significant policy shift for a major European economy, potentially affecting regional energy supply and decarbonization efforts.
