(ANSA) - Potenza, March 22 - Potenza Governor Marcello
Pittella on Thursday rejected the idea of the region being one
of the sites of nuclear waste dumps announced by Industry
Minister Carlo Calenda.
Pittella, of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), said the
region was ready for a "second Scanzano", referring to a site
that was srubbed after a two-week popular protest in 2003.
Calenda announced the new sites on Wednesday but did not say
where they would be located.
