THE ITALIAN NUCLEAR JOB

25-02-2009 11:06

the Nutt Nukers
(AGI) - Rome, 24 Feb. - In Villa Madama prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and president Nicolas Sarkozy signed a nuclear power cooperation agreement between Italy and France. This should pave the way for the construction of at least 4 third generation Epr nuclear power stations within the next tem years. Furthermore, Enel is gaining strength on French territory. After entering into the Flamaville power station, Enel will gain an equally large stake (12.5%) in the new power station located in Penly, in Normandy. The agreement "sets the foundations for a European nuclear policy" and with it Italy and France aim to "harmonise their long term positions". Fulvio Conti and Pierre Gaddoneix then signed two memorandums of understanding between Enel and Edf.
