Gian Luca Artizzu is CEO of Sogin, the public company responsible for the 'decommissioning' of Italian nuclear plants and the management of radioactive waste. "With the dismantling of the old plants we are at 44-45% and we have full management of the fuel residues: we are processing them abroad, they will have to return with times that we will now renegotiate with the French", he says.
To return to the 'new nuclear power' in Italy "what is needed is to redo the supply chain, in reality there already exists a supply chain that works a lot abroad, there is Enel which has several power plants abroad", adds ArtizzU. "Then there are us who have all the internal skills to start again, except for the construction of the reactor obviously", adds the CEO on the sidelines of the conference 'Italian nuclear power in the challenge to climate change' organized by iWeek at the University of Pavia, Italy.
