We’re diving back into the world of nuclear energy—but this time, we’re shifting our focus to regulation.In our previous episode, we explored nuclear technology with Erika Magrini, discussing existing and future plants. Today, we tackle the legal framework shaping Italy’s nuclear future.
The MASE has presented a draft bill aiming to establish, by 2027, a Unified Nuclear Code and a National Program to regulate the entire lifecycle of nuclear plants—from construction to decommissioning and waste management. The government envisions a framework based on “sustainable nuclear” principles, with key implementation details to be defined through decrees in the 24 months following the entry into force of the decree.

However, critical questions remain:
🔸 What type of plants will be developed?
🔸 Who will support relevant investments?
🔸 Is a new referendum necessary?
🔸 Who will oversee authorizations?
🔸 Could Italy build nuclear plants abroad? 

To unpack these complexities, we’ve brought in Ivano Saltarelli, Partner at #GreenHorseLegal who helps us navigate the key issues at stake.
