Italy looks to finalize by the end of 2027 plans and legislation that would allow a return to nuclear power generation after more than four decades, Italian Energy Security Minister and Environment Minister, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, told Italian business daily Il Sole 24 Ore in an interview published on Thursday.
Italy halted nuclear reactors after a referendum in 1987 following the Chornobyl disaster a year earlier. In 2011, Italians rejected again the use of nuclear power in yet another referendum.
