(ANSA) - TRIESTE, NOVEMBER 12 - This week Trieste will host, as part of the pro-ESOF initiatives, an international event focusing on nuclear power and its potential contribution to the fight against climate change and the achievement of the global objectives of decarbonizing the energy sector. Promoted by the Nuclear and Reason Committee, the event includes a guided tour of the Krško nuclear power plant on November,15 and a scientific conference which will take place on November 16 in the Aula Magna of the A.Volta Technical Institute. The conference will include two sessions: the current state of research on nuclear technologies in the sectors of nuclear fission and fusion and the role of nuclear power in European decarbonization scenarios, paying particular attention to issues such as safety, waste management and public perception of the nuclear option. The key themes will include the design of a second nuclear reactor in Krsko, presented by the Slovenian Nuclear Society. The conference will feature speakers from research centers and technical-scientific institutions from different countries, including Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Poland, and France. Then a round table will take place, open to speeches. The table will be attended (via conference call) by Michael Shellenberger, from California, founder of Environmental Progress, who in the past as an environmentalist used to oppose nuclear power and today is among the most active promoters of the nuclear option. The Volta Institute will also host an interactive exhibition on radioactivity and nuclear technologies. (ANSA).
