“…As they say, the serious problems occur when "all the holes line up." Intense public scrutiny is placed on the nuclear power industry because of the potential for catastrophe (Chernobyl) and dread of radiation (Slovic, 1987;Weart, 1988). The only way to prevent this is to prevent even the "minor" problems and to learn to recover quickly from problems so the plant is not in an unusual configuration and vulnerable to subsequent errors and surprises.…”

“…In addition to a myriad of runs with dissolved aluminum alloys, in 1969 G-111 would process the first dissolver product from co-processing of zirconium and aluminum. Years later, in 1987 and1988, the last batch of fuel to be dissolved in CPP-601 would pass through. G-Cell also contained several holding tanks for high level liquid wastes produced during first cycle extraction.…”

Abstract:This article examines the role of the Spanish Atomic Forum as the representative of the nuclear sector in the public arena during the golden years of the nuclear power industry from the 1960s to 1970s. It focuses on the public image concerns of the Spanish nuclear lobby and the subsequent information campaigns launched during the late 1970s to counteract demonstrations by the growing and heterogeneous antinuclear movement. The role of advocacy of nuclear energy by the Atomic Forum was similar to that in other countries, but the situation in Spain had some distinguishing features. Antinuclear protest in Spain peaked in 1978 paralleling the debates of a new National Energy Plan in Congress, whose first draft had envisaged a massive nuclearization of the country. We show how the approval of the Plan in July 1979, with a significant reduction in the nuclear energy component, was influenced by the anti-nuclear protest movements in Spain. Despite the efforts of the Spanish Atomic Forum to counter its message, the anti-nuclear movement was strengthened by reactions to the Three Miles Island accident in March 1979.
