Nuclear decommissioning, creating new jobs through a new global business
16 April 2013
Davide Tabarelli, President of Nomisma Energia, and Giuseppe Nucci, CEO
of Sogin, the state company in charge of the environmental clean-up of
Italy’s nuclear sites, presented Nomisma Energia’s report today on the
economic/occupational impact of nuclear site clean-up activities in
Italy and elsewhere in the world. Sogin estimates that a total of 6.5
billion euros is needed to complete the environmental clean-up of the 4
Italian nuclear power plants, the 4 fuel cycle plants, and construction
of the Technology Park, including the national repository for
radioactive waste.
Of these total resources, 1.7 billion euros are
necessary for dismantling activities alone. The Nomisma Energia study
foresees that Sogin’s dismantling activities will produce a total of
12,000 new jobs in decommissioning and satellite activities, 7 new job
openings for each million invested, which will peak in 2016 and 2017.
