This book analyses the economic history of the nuclear program
in Spain, from its inception in the 1950s to the nuclear
moratorium in the early 1980s, and investigates the economic,
financial and business origins of atomic energy in Spain. The
actual dimension of the Spanish nuclear sector, which exceeded
the relative economic and political clout of the country at the
time, reflects the combination of domestic and foreign
interests. Each contribution inserts the Spanish case within
the international development of nuclear energy, but also shows
how the Spanish nuclear program came about, how it was
financed, and who the main architects and beneficiaries at the
industrial, financial, commercial and banking levels were; all
without losing sight of the energy policy aspects such as
energy mix and energy security. The volume provides useful
analysis and sources for a variety of core fields across the
social sciences including economic history of post-war Europe,
industrial and energy policy, international relations and
history of technology.
