For the first time in nearly four decades, Italy is moving to bring nuclear power back into its energy plans, as part of a broader shift toward decarbonizing industry, according to OilPrice.

The Italian Senate approved a government measure to restart nuclear power generation almost 40 years after a referendum led to the closure of the country’s reactors.

Under the plan, Italy aims to deploy advanced modular reactors to support its energy transition efforts, Reuters reported via OilPrice.
