MASE published a list of areas suitable for siting the National Repository
13 December 2023
The Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE) has published in its website a
list of 51 areas included in the proposed National Map of Suitable Areas (Carta Nazionale delle Aree Idonee, CNAI) that identifies the areas in Italy where the National Radioactive Waste Repository and Technology Park (NRTP) can be built.
As provided for by Italian Legislative Decree no. 31/2010, the CNAI was drafted by Sogin on the basis of observations that emerged after extensive public consultation that included the National Seminar, which took place after the National Map of Potentially Suitable Areas (Carta Nazionale delle Aree Potenzialmente Idonee, CNAPI) was published. The CNAI has been approved by the
National Inspectorate for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (ISIN).
Following the publication of the CNAI and as provided for by Italian Legislative Decree no. 31/2010 and by the amendments introduced by
Italian Legislative Decree no. 181/2023, the territorial entities already listed in the CNAI, those elsewhere in Italy which may be interested in hosting the NRTP, and also the Ministry of Defence for the military facilities involved will be able to submit their applications to MASE and Sogin within the next 30 days.
The applications must be sent to both certified email addresses listed below:
