Nuclear power in Italy
ID: nuclear-power-in-italy
Nuclear power in Italy has a complex history. Italy was one of the early countries to develop nuclear power. The country built its first nuclear power plant, the Caorso Nuclear Power Plant, in the 1960s. At its peak, Italy had several nuclear reactors generating electricity, contributing a significant portion of the country's energy supply. However, the nuclear energy sector faced significant challenges, particularly after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
