France plans to help Italy build several new nuclear power plants near Rome to revive nuclear power in Italy. The French company EDF and its counter part in Italy ENEL have made a deal to give plans to Italy to speed up its nuclear power plants construction. They will be completed by 2020. Italy's nuclear power came to a close when the Chernobyl disaster happened. France will give them 8-10 European Pressurised Reactors (EPR) to power the 3rd generation power plants. I think this is good because it will release Italy's dependence on foreign oil and natural gas. It also will show the world that nuclear power is safe and that it should be used all over the world.
