March 8, 2008 * Let Italy deal with its own N-waste, says Utah agency January 23, 2008
This is from front page of today's Corriere Della Sera of Milan, Italy. October 17, 2005 * Slovak - Mochovce 3 and 4 finance commitment in Enel takeover bid November 27, 2003 Spain or Italy may be site of a new EPR reactor A deal between Spanish investors and a German utility (perhaps EnBW -- Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg AG) is being discussed to construct an advanced European PWR in Spain. Italian investers may also get involved, and Italy may end up being the site of the new plant. The buzz about such a deal was enhanced when Italy's parliament decided it would be legal for ENEL to invest in a plant built in another nation which could supply electricity to Italy.

AECL (of Canada) and Ansaldo (of Italy) have invested 700m dollars in the project. Unit 2 is expected to produce electricity for 12 dollars per MWh, the same price as Unit 1, with the delivery price to Electrica is expected to stand at 26.5 dollars per MWh. A third unit may also be built.

Mean individual dose to
Italians from Chernobyl accident (over 50-year period) is projected to be
500 microSieverts. The collective dose to
Italians over the same period is projected to be
28,600 person-Sieverts. The projections take into account inhalation from the passing cloud, ingestion through the food chain, and external irradiation from deposited radioactivity, and are based on the MESOS dispersion model developed by Helen ApSimon of Imperial College, as applied by W. Nixon, of the Safety and Reliability Directorate of the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority. [Ref: Nuclear News, "Chernobyl doses across the continent", January 1987, p. 62]
