ROME (ITALPRESS) – The Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, and the Minister of Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, held talks this morning on the development of next-generation nuclear power.
The two ministers confirmed full agreement on the government’s strategic interest in Italy’s active participation in the implementation of innovative technologies in the sector, with a special focus on projects promoted by Newcleo, a leading Italian company in the design of advanced third-generation and fourth-generation reactors.
In fact, the government intends to concretely support the strengthening of the national industrial chain dedicated to innovative nuclear energy, recognizing its fundamental importance in ensuring the country’s energy security, environmental sustainability and technological competitiveness.
Within this framework, the executive has already adopted a regulatory measure that lays the groundwork for revitalizing Italy’s commitment to next-generation nuclear research and development. This measure establishes a clear legislative framework to regulate testing, licensing and supervision activities, while encouraging public and private investment in the sector. The goal is to enhance existing expertise and create new industrial and employment opportunities to benefit the Italian production system.
