While negotiating with France for help in building at least four nuclear reactors in the Italian peninsula, Italy also recently reached an accord with Russia to set up a new nuclear plant in Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave situated between Poland and Lithuania, some 320 kilometres from mainland Russia. Executives from Italian power company Enel and Russian energy company Inter RAO signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on future projects, including the new nuclear plant in Kaliningrad.
