In this episode, our colleagues Erika Magrini and Daria Buonfiglio take a deep dive into the fundamentals of nuclear energy, exploring available technologies, plant types, and sizes to understand where Italy might be headed in its nuclear revival.

🔎 Topics discussed:
🔸 Fission vs. fusion – what’s the difference?
🔸 Types of nuclear plants – size, generation, power output
🔸 Are Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) already in trouble?
🔸 Fusion energy – the real game-changer?
