The PDL: "Italy's nuclear goes on"

"The position remains as it is, is that you can change every time." So the group leader in the House of the PDL, Fabrizio Cicchitto, answered those who asked him if he can be a change in position on nuclear power in Italy, after the tragic earthquake in Japan. "We - he continued Cicchitto - we have energy problems not just for a moment if we look at the world around us so tight." The nuclear "My idea is always supportive and I want the government to pass from words to deeds if not in force in ten years we still recite here to discuss." He said the UDC leader Pier Ferdinando Casini, which states: "Of course the problem of Japan is much more complex relation to soil conservation and our planet every day that we respect.

Environmental issues - he concludes - is an issue that we all must take charge. " Clear the government's position. On we go nuclear, earthquake or not. Without knowing what really happened in Japan. The problem is that the majority is that it is completely in harmony with regard to power plants.

Luca Zaia, the governor of the Veneto, yesterday, just hours before the first quake, said: "In the Veneto, there will be no nuclear power plants. We say no to nuclear, regardless of the news - said Zaia - with the Porto Tolle are self-sufficient regarding energy. And then the Veneto does not have the conditions to host a central ".

And, given that the consultation has determined that for the construction of power plants serving the region's ok, it seems clear that the program Scajola-Romans is difficult to implement. No Zaia, but Roberto Formigoni of Lombardy, Roberto Cota of Piedmont and the long series of regions governed by the center.

But the apex of the dark reactions has reached a columnist for the Messenger, Oscar Giannino, often in line with the government's position was well expressed already by the title: "Nuclear sure, it is the litmus test." And again: "If the state of facts is one thing to say is that just piuò the terrible intensity of the phenomenon which hit Japan gives us a new confirmation that the safety of nuclear facilities, the progress made in recent decades have been impressive, such as to hold in reality without endangering the environment and population.

" Giannino was denied within hours of the newspaper kiosk, when the first reactor of the plant in Fukushima is skipped and the area was evacuated within a radius of 20 km. No alarm, an explosion, maybe. But it was premature to draw conclusions yesterday and early today. The radioactivity in the air is increased.

This is a fact. Then a long list of opposites. "To have evacuated people within a radius of 20 km and ordered the rest of the neighboring population not to leave, do not drink tap water and not touch anything that was not enough air, unfortunately, to limit the terrible consequences of the accident, culminated with the explosion of a reactor in Fukushima nuclear power plant.

" And 'what is said in a statement Legambiente. "The terrible situation that is occurring in Japan - said the national president of Legambiente Vittorio Cogliati Dezza - shows that there is for nuclear power safety. The plant exploded, from which yesterday had already leaked radioactive materials, was designed with the most advanced safety features and technical criteria that had to withstand earthquakes of any size, as expected from a country, technologically advanced, used to deal with seismic waves of high power.

Yet the ongoing tragedy is enormous and shoreless. "The consequences will be enormous and there are no tools of any kind to meet the emergency that will follow - continued Cogliati Dezza - No need to add more evidence, but we must think carefully assess and define safe plants you want to build in Italy, a country at risk of earthquakes and geological, where there is no way to ensure stability and security of facilities so dangerous.

" "Once again, there is evidence that the game is not worth the candle of the use of nuclear power plants," said the leader of IDV, Antonio Di Pietro. "There is no doubt - said Di Pietro - that as time goes on more new technologies can produce new models and ways of producing energy: geothermal, solar, wind, biomass.

"Well - he noted, referring to the referendum against the atom promoted dall'Idv - do thirteen plants in Italy with an obsolete technology, and it will take at least twenty years to do it, is a huge waste of financial resources." Greenpeace says he is "concerned about the damage that the earthquake and tsunami may have caused to nuclear installations and other hazardous industries such as oil refineries and chemical products." For the WWF "is a risk that is running the Japanese population is further evidence of the dangers of technology that humanity can do without, now more than ever." According Alfiero Grandi, President of "SI NO to nuclear power to renewable energy," the news coming from Japan are "confirming that nuclear power plants are dangerous." On the technical front, Paul Clement, head of the Laboratory natural hazards prevention and mitigation effects Enea said that "it is early to judge the content of 'alarm about the news reported so far from Japan" but "is not the reason for the earthquake say no to nuclear power "because 'we are now able to build nuclear facilities and buildings that resist earthquakes so violent." While the oncologist Umberto Veronesi, president of the Italian Nuclear Safety, during a lesson at a 'Accademia dei Lincei on the relationship between science and faith, without reference to the case Japan, generally speaking of' nuclear energy said "plants are safe," and most of the criticisms come from "an anti nuclear, which is based on false assumptions.
