Abstract
Despite high ambitions nuclear technology hardly developed in the Netherlands. Already from the very start, nuclear technology was contested and became subject of power games. Two reactors, one 50 MW the other 450 MW were connected to the grid and several more were planned. Social protest and aversion was mitigated by a nationwide energy debate. In 1986 Chernobyl interrupted and finally stopped the Dutch nuclear ambitions. Twenty years after Chernobyl, the debate about the nuclear option has been re-opened in reference to climate change, security of supply and resource independence.
