General Carlo Jean said again that the geological site of Scanzano Jonico can certainly be identified as "the best solution in terms of safety and environmental protection."
decision is based "on a study conducted by a working group Sogin with the participation of experts from other institutions that assessed various deposit options."
then formulating a statement that was subsequently endorsed by the government on the basis of a study done in the past (... and that way back in 1977) and Enea Service Geological Survey on behalf of the European Commission on deep saline formations suitable to host radioactive waste. In
dossier presented by Gen. Jean indicated that the site of the town of Luke is characterized by the presence of a geological formation "consists of a very stable rock salt deposit average thickness of 150-200 meters and a length of over 10 square miles, protected by a layer of clay thickness of over 700 meters. " And a similar geological formation that has been chosen - is mentioned in the documentation - to make New Mexico (U.S.) deposit Wipp started operations in 1999. The technical solution of reference - says the dossier - "Reduces to zero the radiological impact on the population and the environment, overcoming the sense of security also recommended exposure limits in international and national."

The Nobel Prize in Physics Carlo Rubbia and President of Enea has expressed "serious concerns" about the inquiry conducted by Sogin, which then led to the identification Scanzano to the ideal territory for the creation of a national repository for nuclear waste.
Rubbia gave its opinion in the House Environment Committee stressed that the study was conducted in too short a time, compared to other similar overseas, and can be based not only on literature and also on technical and experimental investigations.
Rubbia maintains that "the claim does not correspond to reality, according to which the site Scanzano would be a unique case," with almost identical to those of a site that has been operational since 1999 in the U.S. (the site in New Wipp Mexico).
Rubbia then stated that "the selection of this area in Basilicata is in no way related to the work done by the Task Force Enea on behalf of civil protection that was intended to identify areas suitable for hosting a repository surface (and not geological!) for second category of waste (and not third-class!).
Rubbia then states that "no sound scientific basis and do not fall within any established managerial logic 'consideration of the study that" the site Scanzano would be used for the immediate disposal of the second class and, simultaneously, as Laboratory investigations sitologiche more in-depth, including the installation of an underground laboratory for the testing of to host the third category and the irradiated fuel. " According to Rubbia
the experiences of other countries show that "the stages of investigations 'sites' need before any planting of radioactive waste in any category. " The President remarked Enea is the fact that if the site of Scanzano not prove adequate for the dregs of the third category, but only those in the Second, "it would be disproportionate to the purpose." Rubbia rejects the hypothesis, in the original decree, but later returned, however, to store on a provisional Scanzano waste from other places. Doing so "would require the works to protect and lead times, however, comparable with those needed for the necessary improvements to existing sites."
The student then mentions the problem of the many transport "themselves a source of considerable risk and concerns. " From all this it follows, according to the physical, "the opportunity to carry out without delay and effectively running programs on their sites designed to increase the existing safety levels."

But the physicist Carlo Rubbia was some time ago he had expressed on the problem of disposing of radioactive waste. Here below are the exact words of Carlo Rubbia:
"opens at this serious problem of elimination of radioactive waste. By various methods are incinerated, crushed, ground, pressed, glazed and incorporated them in waterproof barrels When placed in containers of stainless steel, real miniature coffins.
These "shame" of nuclear energy are hidden deep underground, and marine. We have no idea of \u200b\u200bwhat might happen with tons of drums of radioactive substances that have already buried and those who expect to be. We get rid of a problem was inherited by future generations, because this waste will be active for millennia.
Absolute security does not even exist in the latter stage of the nuclear cycle. The radioactive cemeteries can be broken by earthquakes, bombings, sabotage. Despite all the technological safeguards, the thickness and strength of materials in which the waste is sealed fission, radioactivity can, in extreme conditions, released to some extent, stems mainly from decreased in the seabed. They found traces of cesium and plutonium and other radionuclides in the fauna and flora of the seas used as nuclear cemeteries. Even the underground storage of hundreds of meters deep can be considered in my opinion, completely safe. Under the pressure of rocks, thousands of years from now, forgotten by the generations to come, the waste could break or be absorbed by a geological change that will transform an area to dry in the wet, then get water and go away to contaminate ' man through the food chain. In my opinion these wastes are delayed bombs. The hide, thinking that we will be there to answer personally. [3]
Veronesi. reflection.
Politics can not afford second thoughts, but science has an obligation to think more deeply. Dismay at what is happening in Japan el'intreccio between different analysis of the case make it difficult to express clear positions, but it is my intention to do so. As a scientist and as Chairman of the Agency for the Safety of Nuclear propose further reflection on the methodologies that will lead to the reintroduction of nuclear power in Italy.
What is happening in Japan, particularly in Fukushima, has led some representatives of homegrown institutions to review its position on the possibility of creating new nuclear plants in Italy. Even among the regions last year were well received by the government advanced the idea of \u200b\u200binstalling the new power plants on its territory, or Lombardy, Piedmont, Campania and Veneto, there are the first about-face.
Luca Zaia (Lega Nord) has revised its position and reverse his opposition to the project, stating that as long as its role will cover the new reactors will be installed in Veneto, as the morphology of the region does not have the features necessary. Of the same opinion Stefano Caldoro (PDL), which shall accept the decision of the experts with regard to the Campania, remembering that "In Italy there is an energy gap to be filled, and for this reason, we must make ideological choices." This notwithstanding, as reported by the Republic, yesterday there has been a shock third-degree right near Benevento.
Roberto Formigoni also cautious on the subject (PDL) for Lombardy, who spoke of the risks far lower than Japan in terms of seismic activity in the area. "Our region is self-sufficient in energy production," he said, "and This must be taken into account when you think about where to give rise to new plants. "
For Piedmont ruled Roberto Cota (Lega Nord), with a speech very similar to that already reported for the Veneto: "Say no to nuclear power right now would be hypocritical, because there are many central French close to our territory, but the Piedmont offers no new features for host plants. " The earthquake in Japan, it seems, must have opened our eyes to the characteristics of the territory until a few days ago, unknown to his representatives.
Less worried instead Raffaele Lombardo (Movement for Autonomy) from Sicily who remembers how the seismic risk in Italy is much lower than that involving the Japanese country. Emilia Romagna, Puglia, Lazio, Tuscany and Basilicata are rather consistent with the position taken in the past, continuing to plead his dry no idea of \u200b\u200ba return to nuclear power.
Rome, 20/03/2011
Greenpeace, along with the Japanese group Citizens Nuclear Information Centre (CNIC), seeks an advanced evacuation plan and any measure of protection for the people still inside the 30 km exclusion zone, so as to pregnant women and children in contaminated areas beyond the 30 km.
"As the crisis continues to Fukushima, and 'clear that the authorities' Japanese - says Jan Beranek, nuclear campaign manager of Greenpeace International - can not adequately protect public health.
Despite assurances that there would be few risks to the public, we have seen extensive evacuation and increasing radioactive contamination in the food chain.
Unfortunately, the Japanese authorities are not acting as the situation demands, focusing particularly on the protection of public health.
Now there need the government to inform us immediately at the best measures to protect people from radiation and that puts a plan in place emergency. "" In Italy - Giuseppe Onufrio adds, director of Greenpeace - the attempt to avoid the referendum has already left. Greenpeace
with other associations in the committee calls for the incorporation referendum in May with the administrative and donate the saved amount for the reconstruction of Japan. We have collected more than 100 000 signatures on the internet, the government takes a wise decision will foster the democratic participation saving resources ".
The decision on nuclear power in Italy should not be taken" in the wake of suggestions, "but on" the certainty that the technology can give and he has always "to solve energy problems in the world. And 'the wish of the Secretary Development, Stefano Saglia, in Ravenna to participate in the tenth edition of the Offshore Mediterranean Conference. "Everything that has happened with the Gulf of Mexico" and the recent incidents in Japan, "he said in his speech Saglia," focuses on "the need for" a sustainable energy policy agenda. " "Why this might come true - he added - it is necessary that the scientific community and industry" sector "will contribute to give good information to the political class which has the duty not to make decisions in the wake of suggestions but in the wake of certainty that technology can give the rest has always solved the problems that humanity was faced. "
The President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano launched a clear message to the Berlusconi government on nuclear energy. According to the Head of State be developed to search for alternative energy sources and renewable because it is essential to identify new models and tools that combine economic development with the strict protection of the planet and its environmental balance .
