Zugriff:
Analyzes the nuclear power controversy in West Germany since the Chernobyl accident, focusing on the responses to Chernobyl by government, parties, the general public, and the protest movement. Three factors are stressed to explain why, despite society-wide mobilization, the quest for a nuclear moratorium failed. First, the growth of the nuclear power sector was already completed, minimizing the stakes of conflict. Second, the nuclear opposition became deeply split over goals and strategies. Third, the CDU/FDP coalition government remained steadfastly pro-nuclear.
