Italy’s state-owned nuclear waste management and decommissioning company Sogin has completed civil works for a new repository at the shutdown Enrico Fermi nuclear power station to the east of Turin in the north of the country.

The facility, rebuilt on the site of the old ‘Number 2’ repository, will house the plant's radioactive waste pending its transfer to a planned national repository.

The work involved the demolition and subsequent reconstruction of a temporary repository for low-level radioactive waste at Enrico Fermi, bringing it up to safety standards required by law.
