Can't rule out new-generation nuclear power - Cingolani

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 2 - Ecological Transition Minister Roberto Cingolani said Thursday that new generation nuclear power could not be ruled out as part of clean energy plans amid the climate crisis.
    "I'm not referring to the old nuclear power, let that be clear," Cingolani said at an EU ministerial summit on energy.
    "I don't consider the first, second or third generation new technologies in this moment in time.
    "But I believe that, for the future of our children and grandchildren, small modular reactors and above all fusion cannot be excluded from a much more advanced energy future than 2030". (ANSA).
