Italy considers a return to nuclear power – Bloomberg

The government of Italian Prime Minister Giorgi Meloni is considering the possibility of resuming nuclear energy production in the country almost 40 years after the closure of the last nuclear reactor, Bloomberg writes.

According to the newspaper, Italian officials traveled to Canada to study technological developments and spoke with French officials about their nuclear industry. Italy is also exploring options for the use of nuclear energy by South Korea and the United States.

“Italian officials are aware that it will be difficult for them to convince the population of the need to return to nuclear energy,” the publication says.

Bloomberg noted that Italian energy companies have set up a nuclear research company, Nuclitalia, to find out whether nuclear energy would be economically feasible for Rome.

Earlier, Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, predicted the largest energy crisis in Europe.
