Energy has always been one of the main quests for humanity. But today,
the matter of the quest lies in the attributes we pretend for it: we
want it available, and to secure this availability; we want it cheap,
and affordable for everyone; and we want it green, with no harm for
people and the planet. In one word: sustainable!
The debate lies in facts on which sources should we pursue to achieve
all our (ambitious) objectives. No need to say: in the debate, nuclear
is the least popular. Notwithstanding, nuclear entered the European
taxonomy of green sources – and not without rumors or oppositions.
The talk will try to touch the attributes acknowledged to nuclear
energy, which motivated its inclusion in the European taxonomy,
comparing past, current and future plant “generations” and discussing
the state-of-the-art researches ongoing worldwide.
