    What does italy’s prospects for nuclear power look like? Buying fuel from France and reactors from Westinghouse that come up 10x over budget and 50 years behind schedule?

      They might buy both from france? Since the zero exposure rule for personnel has been repealed recently nuclear power might get cheaper. Hopefully they can do better than the expensive overbuilt mess that were the EPR reactors sold to the UK from france…

      Germany, UK and the Netherlands also produce nuclear fuel. There are also South Korean designs around, which might be an option.

      But seriously it would probably be a lot cheaper to go to solar and wind combined with storage.
