3. Nuclear energy, together with renewable and fossil sources is a primary fource of energy, that is it’s present in mature and doesn’t derire from the transformation of other forms of energy. BIOMASS SOLAR NUCLEAR GEOTHERMAL OIL WATER WIND COAL NATURAL GAS

4. THE ATTITUDE TOWARDS NUCLEAR ENERGY IS:

5. FUSION FISSION RELATED TO RADIOACTIVITY

6. In Europethere are 18 contrieswhich produce nuclearenergy; the mainproducer are: 1. France with 59 nuclear power plants (85% of total energy). 2.Russia with 31 nuclear power plants (19% of total energy). 3.Great Britaign with 19 nuclear power plants (9% of total energy). 4. Germany with 17 nuclear power plants ( 32% of total energy. * The country which relies most on nuclear energy is Belgium: 91% of its energy requirements comes from nuclear energy with only 7 nuclear power plants.

10. A STEP BACK THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT IS CURRENTLY EXAMINING THE POSSIBILITY TO RE-OPEN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS ON ITS TERRITORY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE “20-20-20” TREATY, IT REPRESENTS ANOTHER SOURCE OF NON- RENEWABLE ENERGY THAT ADDED TO OIL WITH COVER THE REMAINING 80%

13. “It’s a project which could change the future prospects in the production of energy for the future generations.”( Cit. S.B)

14. I really don’t know. It’s an important turning pont which must be planned carefully to the last detail. It could lead to good prospects and at the moment we can’t realy only on renewable sources.
