“…Subsequently, a new water paradigm based on sustainability appeared in the late 20th century, consolidating itself at the beginning of the 21st century. The former, known as Regenerationism, was based on the dominant actions undertaken by the Spanish Government through supply strategies-that is, the construction of large hydraulic works, whose ultimate goals, depending on the time period, were split between irrigation and industry [56,57]. The latter, the New Water Culture, gave greater importance to citizen participation and advocated a water management model based on the control of water demand and scarcity adaptation [58].…”

Water resources are limited and uneven in space and time. Competition for the use of the resource can lead to conflicts between water users. Besides its use for irrigation and agriculture, water is an essential input in the thermoelectric power generation process. Massive Spanish nuclear program projects have conditioned water management in the country, as significant freshwater volumes need to be constantly available for the proper operation of these facilities. Water for cooling has conflicted with other water-using activities, resulting in regional imbalances. The present study shows that cooling water represented a source of conflict between irrigators and electricity companies in Spain in the 1970s and 1980s. A historical analysis of documentary sources reveals that the drawing off of fresh water for cooling by the nuclear industry was one of the many causes of frequent disputes and the rise of social movements against the installation of nuclear power plants in Spain during that period.

“…El estudio de la electrificación temprana se ha llevado a cabo para la región de España, precursora: Cataluña, a través de diferentes estudios, como los realizados por los historiadores Jordi Maluquer de Motes, Mª Isabel Bartolomé Rodríguez, Carles Sudriá Triay y otros (Maluquer, 1992.;Sudriá, 1990;Bartolomé, 2011). Sin embargo, en Valencia este trabajo estaba todavía por hacer.…”

In the nuclear sector, turnkey projects can be considered an investment in obtaining information through “learning by doing” to capture rents from the next generation of reactors. As the first U.S. turnkey export project, the first Spanish nuclear power plant served that purpose and paved the way for the subsequent growth of the nuclear sector, for both Spanish and U.S. firms. Making use of archival material, we analyze the networks created by the government, experts, and business leaders, which sought to obtain, accumulate, and learn from the scarce and conflicting information about atomic technology that was available at the time. We also discern how firms on both sides of the Atlantic acquired and perfected the specific capabilities required to build a commercial nuclear reactor.
