Abstract

This paper is an evaluation of the impact nuclear power planning policies have had on Czechoslovakia's socialist society, particularly for the post-Chernobyl era. Poor indigenous energy resources and the leading role that nuclear power has played in the COMECON's energy-intensive manufacturing sector has made nuclear power into an attractive proposition from the 1960s onwards. Discussion in this paper centres around nuclear-power plant siting and operation, and media coverage of the industry—especially after April 1986; reports include official Czechoslovakian material, and matter published by émigré groups. Official planning policies appear to have changed little since the Ukrainian accident, with increasing reliance being placed on nuclear power for electricity production in Czechoslovakia, up to the end of this century and beyond.
