L’IMBROGLIO NUCLEARE CONTINUA: DAI RIFIUTI
NAZIONALI ABROAD AT CENTRAL

PRESS - CASERTA 24 ORE.it
As we reported and documented history of a national repository for nuclear waste
(apparently sgonfiatasi) was closely linked to the resumption of nuclear investment
Italians abroad by Enel and Sogin. Enel, which is always on the run
with EDF and Siemens to participate in the new European EPR reactor project,
is buying 66% of the Slovak company Slovenske Elektrarne (SE) for 840 million euro
: it is about 7000 MW divided plants in water, thermal and 3500 MW of nuclear
in practice 85% of the Slovak network. The first consideration is that the offer is definitely wrong
economic (22% higher than that of CEZ czech and 53% higher than that of
Russian Inter RAO) view of the old age of the plants and, above all,
of problems at eight nuclear plants at Bohunice and Mochovice all of Russian technology
pressurized water (WWER). Of the four units at Bohunice, the first two
must be closed in 2006 and 2008 (according to EU decisions and approved by the IAEA itself
Slovak government) because inadequate from the standpoint of security. The other two units at Bohunice
can operate only until 2024, while two of the units of Mochovice
are still under construction (between 40-50%). The gamble made by Scaroni,
supported by a "due diligence" (economic and technical evaluation) performed by Sogin,
is to extend at least ten years of operation of all four units at Bohunice
entrusting Sogin technical aspects -procedural matter to the authorities of
security and trust in the support of political neo
Italian MPs elected in Brussels that will make a "European left" before pressing this?
defend the safety of the population, or will support the national interests of the owner Enel? And
will end the nuclear waste of these reactors as Slovakia does not have a suitable storage site
? Sogin bought by ENI's share Nucleco
becoming the monopoly of all licenses regarding decontamination and treatment of buildings,
deposits and radioactive materials. Sogin has seen simultaneously expand its powers
the reform of the electricity sector (March) in the areas of more general treatment of
municipal, industrial and environmental protection. Sogin has already offered as an advisor to the Commission
Waste Campania Region and the Ministry of the Environment for monitoring
about 60 industrial sites including Priolo and Marghera. But the lion's share remains the nuclear
where Sogin already manages the national storage sites in addition to orders
an Italo-Russian bilateral agreement for the dismantling of nuclear submarines, and if the acquisition goes through
Enel, the management of and the completion of Mochovice
likely dismantling of Bohunice. The participation to the neo-nuclear
is therefore a matter of fact, (endorsed by Article .42 Marzano law), and it is time to stop with the whining of
ecologist and environmentalist left on the nullification of the anti-nuclear referendum
'87, because from then on, even by those
growing environments came the idea that you could create a season of collaboration between the reasons for
profit and the environment on the basis of the so-called sustainable development,
specifically in the energy sector, led to the dismantling of society
public ENI, Enel, Municipal, and as far as the nuclear powers also
Enea. For nearly two decades the national sport was the crossfire of the public sector: any individual, however, was more beautiful than the public monopoly
(electric, telephone, railway, oil) and now that the failures of this liberalization are obvious
insist in attributing to the dominant position that Enel, ENI
Telecom or in the market. Yet if there is anyone who promotes "sustainable development
'with a formal recognition of the environmental groups are just
these rulers! The international situation and Europe in particular (as
illustrated last year in Montecatini concerned the energy choices of
EU), does not allow margins: over the next twenty years, energy consumption will increase by 30%
, imports of 90% of oil consumption and 65% for gas, freight
will be for 90% road, while already now circulating 175 million cars with more than 40,000 deaths per year
accidents. The conclusion is that the limits of the Kyoto Protocol
not be met, and if, as claimed by the guru of environmentalism Lovelock,
the world can be saved by the greenhouse effect only if we accept nuclear power, we have to build nuclear power stations to
maintain the sustainability of development : after all is not what he is doing
Enel in Slovakia? The contradiction between the incompatibility of these policies with
any idea of \u200b\u200b"another world" it seems clear and the claim
sustainable development, if not properly review, can only lead to
supine acceptance of every social and environmental disaster caused by capitalism, including the one extreme
see us fight, all against all, to the last drop of oil or water. Rethinking
terms of the energy issue in a non-dissociated from the social conflicts means
primarily designed to reaffirm the principle of public utility goods and services such as water and electricity
, removing them from the logic of the market and the profit taken by the processes of
privatization: It is precisely these aspects that we want to leave. So while we urge
Italian Members of Parliament Europe to draw attention to the "cheating
nuclear inherent in the privatization of the SE not granting exemptions to
Slovak nuclear decommissioning Bohunice 1 and 2, we urge the opposition political forces and movements
all to reconsider the current structure of the market
European power supply according to criteria of public interest focused on the creation of a European electricity
body that manages the activities of generation and transmission
with minimum operating costs and the obligation to reinvest the profits in the use of renewable energies
