A row has erupted in Italy after seven
regions were named as having 67 potential sites to take nuclear
waste.
The industry and environment ministries gave decommissioning
company SOGIN the go ahead to draft the national map of areas
potentially suitable for the waste.
The regions involved are Piedmont, Tuscany, Lazio, Puglia,
Basilicata, Sardinia and
Sicily.
All seven have announced legal action against the move.
The centre-right opposition was also up in arms.
Nationalist League leader Matteo Salvini, the leader of the
opposition, called the government "incompetent".
His partner, the smaller nationalist Brothers of Italy (FdI)
party, said "it is folly to publish the SOGIN map in the midst
of a COVID crisis".
