Weak form of Greenberg's conjecture

Let kk be a totally real number field and pp a prime number. Let kc/kk^\mathrm{c}_\infty/k be its cyclotomic bZpbZ_p-extension, and let X(kc)X(k^\mathrm{c}_\infty) be the associated unramified Iwasawa module. A finite bZpGal(kc/k)bZ_p\llbracket\operatorname{Gal}(k^\mathrm{c}_\infty/k)\rrbracket-submodule means a submodule that is finite as an abelian group.

Weak form of Greenberg's conjecture. If X(kc)X(k^\mathrm{c}_\infty) is nontrivial, then it has a nontrivial finite bZpGal(kc/k)bZ_p\llbracket\operatorname{Gal}(k^\mathrm{c}_\infty/k)\rrbracket-submodule.

This is presented as a weaker variant of Greenberg's conjecture and is open in the generality stated.
