Italy suspends nuclear progrmme

The Italian government has decided to suspend for 12 months procedures for the selection and construction of nuclear sites in the country in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear incident in Japan. The decision puts at risk the launch in 2020 of the country's first reactor, but aims to calm voters ahead of a crucial referendum on
nuclear energy scheduled on 12 June.
