Discussion on harnessing nuclear power versus marine energy options: user-led discussion on our platform
Get Ready for an Electric Energy Adventure in the Heart of Italy!
On Monday, May 5, the spotlight is on Turin as the city takes center stage in Italy's revolutionary energy shift. Tune in this afternoon at 4:30 PM at the Ogr for "New Energies," a thrilling debate co-hosted by our very own website. This event promises to delve into the challenges of the transition, technological innovations, and environmental policies, shaping the future of energy independence worldwide.
The Main Event
Stealing the show will be none other than the Minister of Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, who will unveil the government's plan for decarbonization, provide updates on the anticipated nuclear power law, and lay out the evolving national energy strategy. Particular emphasis will be placed on the potential role of so-called clean nuclear power of the next generation.
Nuclear Power: A Game Changer?
Get ready for some mind-blowing insights from physicist Stefano Buono, a CERN researcher and the trailblazing founder of newcleo. This pioneering company is at the forefront of developing innovative small nuclear reactors. With plans to open new labs at Envi Park in Turin, Buono will envision a more sustainable and secure energy future powered by fast reactors cooled with lead. These reactors can utilize existing waste and plutonium as fuel, significantly minimizing environmental impact. Geologist Mario Tozzi, a seasoned science communicator, will bring a critical perspective, highlighting environmental risks and advocating for alternative paths in renewable energy production.
Academic Powerhouse
our website and dedicated to the challenges of the transition, technological innovation, and environmental policies. A major event at a time when the future and energy independence is one of the global strategic priorities.
Turin's research prowess in sustainability will take center stage, as the Rector of the Polytechnic of Turin, Stefano Paolo Corgnati, elaborates on the university's potential in this exciting field, emphasizing the importance of international collaborations. Giuliana Mattiazzo, Vice-Rector and coordinator of MorEnergy Lab, will discuss offshore wind, wave energy, and the burgeoning startups orbiting around the University.
Industrial Innovations
Francesco Oppici, co-founder of Energy Dome, will represent industrial innovations. His startup has developed an extraordinary long-duration energy storage technology, unlocking the potential of intermittent sources like solar and wind energy. This innovative system utilizes liquid and gaseous carbon dioxide, ensuring greater stability, resilience, and low impact. Wrapping up the event is the Vice-President of the European Commission for Industry, Research, and Energy, Giorgio Gori, and Luca Dal Fabbro, President of Iren.
Moderating the Debate
Our very own website's director, Andrea Malaguti, along with deputy director Giuseppe Bottero and journalist Giulia Ricci, will seamlessly guide this thought-provoking event.

It's worth noting that the region boasts historical ties to nuclear energy, with Fiat's involvement in Italy's nuclear program culminating in the collaboration to develop the Avogadro RS-1 research reactor with Società Ricerche Impianti Nucleari (SORIN)[4].
Uncovering Hidden Gems
While our preliminary search did not reveal explicit references to a nuclear energy debate on May 5, 2023, in Turin, ongoing nuclear research is a significant focus at the Politecnico di Torino's DENERG department, which delves into reactor physics and nuclear plant engineering[1]. However, recent events matching this described debate were not discovered in their news section[1].
