Additional benefits of nuclear power in Italy (2) Enhancement of country’s competitiveness Reduction and stabilization of electricity costs and prices Improvement and integration of the national energy supply chain, with positive impacts on energy users Improvement of country’s competences and human capital Overall impacts on the economic system: +4.5-11 Bln €/year for greater overall production +38-81 thousand man-years Source:  The European House-Ambrosetti, CERTeTBocconi
Additional benefits of nuclear power in Italy (3) Enhancement of geopolitical positioning Reduction of political risk for current energy dependency Possibility of increasing participation in the construction of global governance in the near future Possibility of reinforcing international cooperation (especially on the southern side of the Mediterranean) Possibility of participating in multilateral working groups to control nuclear proliferation Source:  The European House-Ambrosetti,     V. E. Parsi
Concluding Remarks Nuclear energy is experiencing a globalgrowth, as it is a safe technology, with lower generation costs and CO2 emissions “Return to nuclear” can provide considerable benefits for Italy: energy sustainability and as a driver for development The nuclear program is an opportunity for Italy, but it has to be a shared choice of the country
