A conference in Italy has seen strong support for Westinghouse\u2019s entry to the emerging Italian nuclear market as well as worries over the continuation of development.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The 12\u00a0May conference was organized by EnergyLab, an energy research foundation created by the Lombardy region and some local universities, and took place at the Lower Chamber of the Italian government.<\/p>\n

Silvio Bosetti, director of EnergyLab and assistant of the president of utility A2A, said that his organization was \u201cassessing whether we could adopt the Westinghouse AP1000\u00a0on the Italian soil.\u201d He said one \u201cadvantage [of AP1000] is its smaller need for water, thus the possibility to install by a river, not only by the sea.\u201d Lombardy is a landlocked region in northern Italy that boasts a population approaching 10\u00a0million and a significant part of the country\u2019s economic activity.<\/p>\n

Gary Shuttleworth, director of international business development at Westinghouse, confirmed mutual interest: \u201cWe are putting a great deal of effort to join the Italian nuclear program, contacting all the major European utilities with interests in Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The meeting also saw involvement from Giuliano Locatelli, manager for power projects at Ansaldo Nucleare, who added that his firm could support Westinghouse work in addition to its commitment to Areva\u2019s plans with the utility, Enel. Speaking for the Ministry of Economic Development, undersecretary Stefano Saglia said \u201cit\u2019s our opinion that both systems have characteristics which are not in contradiction and that are two opportunities which could integrate in Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conference also saw many participants underline the importance of the Nuclear Safety Agency in defining the criteria and rules, lamenting the delay in its creation. The agency does not yet have a head, although oncologist Umberto Veronesi has been mentioned several times as a possible candidate, and neither has its charter been released despite announcements that this was imminent. \u201cWe need the agency to start the licensing process and to evaluate the risks we will face during the construction phase,\u201d said Shuttleworth.<\/p>\n

Another main issue of discussion was the sudden resignation last week of Italy\u2019s most visible nuclear supporter, Minister of Economic Development Claudio Scajola, after allegations of corruption.<\/p>\n

Saglia rejected any worries about the Italian commitment to nuclear energy: \u201cIt\u2019s a concern denied by the direct commitment of the prime minister [Silvio Berlusconi, who is currently minister ad interim for economic development], which has repeated the willingness to speed up the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, a few days ago, Pier Francesco Guarguaglini, CEO of Finmeccanica, in an interview at the Financial Times said that the resignation could have some repercussions as Scajola \u201cwas strongly committed and was pushing for a revival of a nuclear program in Italy\u201d. Berlusconi is yet to announce a new head for the ministry, with this delay partly due to the European crisis over the Greek economy as well as domestic issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
