In more than 50 years of business, Ansaldo Nucleare, ANN, the leading Italian company in the nuclear sector, has developed relevant technical knowledge and expertise to deliver innovative products in the nuclear market. Building on the experience derived from the design and construction role in early generations nuclear power plants, the unique competencies, problem solving capabilities and flexibility gained by ANN have been recently oriented towards activities for safety upgrades, re-powering, plant-life ex-tension on existing NPPs. In the framework of the European and International cooperation, ANN develops innovative Nuclear Power Plants, offering enhanced safety features and economic improvements for the electrical production, with a view to reducing the radioactive wastes generated by the plants. Focusing on decommissioning experience, ANN is an engineering company with a key role in the development of tailored equipment and solutions.
