(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 24 FEB - Geologists and seismologists all
agree: the potential doubling of the Krsko nuclear power plant
in Slovenia, 125 km from Trieste, should be ruled out, given
that it stands in an area of medium-high seismicity, as many
studies and monitoring confirmed. The plant s license will
expire in 2023, and then a decision must be made whether to keep
it running or not. It is, therefore, also the right time for the
Italian government to make its voice heard against the plan of a
plant s revamping to keep it running until 2043, as the
Slovenian authorities seem to want to do. Viennese geologist
