Italy Plans to Draft New Nuclear Power Rules by Early 2025, Signaling Possible Policy Reversal

According to a Reuters report, Italy has announced that by early 2025, it plans to draft new rules permitting the use of nuclear power technologies. This decision implies a reversal of the country’s current ban on nuclear power production.  

Nuclear fission is a controversial energy source in Italy, where nuclear power plants have been banned due to referendums held in 1987 and 2011.
