The Embalse CANDU plant in Argentina was built largely by Italian contractors.
What's really absurd is that the Vajont dam disaster, a dam built specifically for hydropower, actually killed about 2000 people just months before the first nuclear power plant in Italy started up. Of course no nuclear power plant anywhere has ever done anything of the kind, or likely ever will. But nobody bans hydro because of its proven potential for causing mass casualty events!
