SYNOPSIS
At Borgo Sabotino, near Latina, in 1963, during the Italian economic boom, was built a nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, on an English project welcomed by all with great enthusiasm. Pannone, who as a young student in the mid-eighties took part in a  anti-nuclear local committee against the referendum against nuclear power after the Cernobyl tragedy, revises the old friends from the past and investigate the history of nuclear power in Latina that saw in the early eighties the construction of a second experimental reactor, an Italian project, never activated called Cirene. While in the background start the debate about the Silvio Berlusconi’s decision to activate a new nuclear plan with the French government, twenty-four years after the referendum that market its end, the Fukushima nuclear accident gives new breath to the protest. A new referendum will announce the second stop of the Italian nuclear program, but Pannone bothers to investigate especially on the dross, material and also moral, which have remained in the area around the nuclear power plant, and that will not disappear in the short term.
