Regulation and safety
In 1964 CNEN was confirmed as the regulatory body for Italy's nuclear power, using safety criteria from UK and USA. It was later split into ENEA - responsible for research and promotion of nuclear energy, and ENEA/DISP as the independent regulatory body. This then became APAT, the Agency for Environmental Protection & Technical Services, as the regulatory body in charge of safety and licensing. This in turn later became the nuclear department of the environmental protection ministry - ISPRA.
The 2008-09 legislation dealing with new nuclear build in Italy also sets up an independent Agency for Nuclear Security (ASN) as the new regulator, with staff drawn from APAT and ENEA. It also sets out licensing procedures for new plants.
Non-proliferation
Italy is party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) since 1975 as a non-nuclear weapons state. It is a member of both Euratom and the Nuclear Suppliers' Group. In 1998 it signed the Additional Protocol in relation to its safeguards agreements with the IAEA.

Does nuclear energy have safety issues?
Yes, nuclear energy does have safety issues, primarily related to the risk of accidents resulting in release of radioactive materials. However, modern nuclear power plants incorporate multiple safety systems and protocols to prevent accidents and mitigate their consequences. Regulatory agencies impose strict safety standards to ensure the safe operation of nuclear facilities.
