GDF Suez SA (GSZ.FR) is looking at opportunities to take part in Italy's nuclear comeback as the French company aims to be among the main energy players in the country, said Chief Executive Gerard Mestrallet Wednesday.

"We are looking carefully at the opportunities in Italian nuclear" after the government decided to allow atomic power generation back into the country, said the CEO at a press conference in Rome.

GDF Suez is "studying" the nuclear market. The French company "aims to become one of the top energy operators" as it plans to expand its electricity and natural gas presence in Italy, added the CEO.
