Italian citizens this morning woke up with a different focus on the nuclear issue. An article in the Corriere della Sera, based on rumors, announces that Sogin, a company controlled by Treasury for the management of nuclear facilities, after a year of work, identified the future radioactive deposits. The most affected areas, scattered throughout the Italian territory are those of the Maremma of Viterbo, the Piacenza and Monferrato. In addition there are the hills of Emilia and the border area between Puglia and Basilicata: 52 sites potentially capable of approximately 300 hectares.


Criteria for storage sites
Which is close to a first result is confirmed by the words of the Director for Sustainable Development of the Ministry of Environment, Corrado Clini, who, speaking at a seminar organized by the French and by the same Ministry, outlined the parameters for identifying storage sites: "We must address the critical issues posed by human activity as strong in our country, its hydrological and seismic fragility, variable water availability, the characteristics of thermal pollution of water bodies. So the recipe is not unique: type of plants must be commensurate with the characteristics of areas affected by settlements. "


Incentives
The choice of deposit, to be able to receive, in addition to waste, even the technology park and research center, which in turn will house about 1,000 researchers, will not be imposed. Although the nascent Agency for Nuclear Safety on site selection will weigh very important, because the regions will be disagree. For this reason it will create a kind of auction: the community that will accept radioactive deposits will be offset by strong economic incentives.


34 measures to be implemented,
Everything is therefore "almost" ready. The foundation stone for the nuclear should be placed in 2013, but given the lack of authority on the one-year delay on the roadmap is virtually assured. It confirms also the director Corrado Clini, "The timing has not been observed so far because it was built without scaffolding equipment. There are 34 measures to be taken and this figure gives the idea that there are many issues that must be put in order. We must focus on strategic nodes for the start ups that are the creation of nuclear security, nuclear strategy (compared to the national energy plan), the parameters for identifying areas ".


Nuclear renewable
But this is not the only critical points detected by Cline, who announced the action to the EU for a better view of nuclear energy: "The parteneariato (nuclear) close with France may be aimed at not only developing technologies, but also to insert a European level between the nuclear clean sources. "


Piemonte: a foolish choice
The question "site selection" have also expressed the Piemonte Ladies Luigi Bobba, Massimo Fiorio and Lovell Mario Democratic Party, who consider absurd to define the Monferrato Apennines and the area of Bormide suitable places to host nuclear.

The reasons supporting this thesis are simple: "If Sogin ruled areas with high population density and seismic risk, then it makes sense to consider the Monferrato (seismic zone, densely and home to a major aqueduct) nor the Bormide, which are mountain areas which have experienced a complex reclamation work recently completed. Remember also, which is nearing completion the process for approval along with the territories of the Monferrato, Langhe and Roero Unesco.

What the three leaders of Pd Piemonte hope is "that the mapping of sites suitable for hosting the national filing is carried out in very reasonable."
