Decommissioning
Nuclear power plants in Italy are currently being decommissioned by Sogin, a company under control of the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance. The company is responsible for the handling of nuclear waste and the dismantling and decontamination of decommissioned power plants. Sogin also manages nuclear waste from other applications, such as medical devices and scientific centers.
There are plans for the construction of a unique surface storage site for all the Italian nuclear waste, of which about 70% comes from old nuclear power plants. These highly radioactive materials are currently being reprocessed to reduce the total volume.
