Nuclear: the acceleration bill starts its parliamentary journey in the Senate on Tuesday

The second part of the energy triptych, the nuclear acceleration bill, begins its parliamentary journey in the Senate on Tuesday, where it is expected to be buoyed by favourable winds. The vision of this bill is to encourage the construction of new reactors.

The President of the Republic announced his intention to build six new reactors and wanted studies to begin for the construction of eight others.

Moscow has denied being responsible for the carnage in Dnipro and blamed the Ukrainians. For his part, Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesperson, spoke of “a tragedy” that could be due to a Ukrainian anti-aircraft fire.
