Italy Takes First Step to Return to Nuclear Energy. AFP, February 24, 2009. "Italy took the first concrete step Tuesday towards returning to nuclear energy following a 21-year ban, reaching an accord with France to build state-of-the-art reactors. The Italian and French energy firms ENEL and EDF signed an accord for the construction in Italy of at least four European pressurized water nuclear reactors (EPRs) as part of an overall nuclear cooperation accord. The accord covers a first Italian nuclear plant to be operational by 2020, ENEL said in a statement. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and French President Nicolas Sarkozy signed the cooperation pact, which covers research and waste treatment as well as the construction of nuclear power plants."
