PRIOLO GARGALLO Italy (Reuters) - Italy is set to name the head of a new nuclear safety agency within days, moving closer to a relaunch of the nuclear power industry abandoned over 20 years ago, the Environment Minister said on Wednesday.
Setting up a nuclear safety agency is a key step in Italy's plans to revive nuclear energy rejected by a public vote in 1987 after the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine. But clashing political interests have delayed the new agency, Italian media have said.
