Forty years after shutting down nuclear power projects entirely, Italy plans to restart nuclear power plants - IT之家

Italy is moving to relaunch nuclear power after nearly 40 years, with parliament expected to review a government bill that creates a legal framework for next-generation nuclear technologies.

Meloni’s government wants nuclear energy back in the country’s power mix, focusing on third-generation modular reactors.

The first units could come online between 2033 and 2035, with project development and construction expected to take 7 to 10 years.

The shift reflects pressure from high electricity prices and heavy reliance on imported energy, and signals a broader change in parts of Europe’s view of nuclear power.
