Abstract
The responses to the introduction of nuclear power are examined and the underlying processes interpreted from a sociological viewpoint. The social dynamics of "para-scientific" controversies are reviewed; the nuclear power controversy is viewed from this perspective. Social movements for greater participation in the decision-making process are discussed and the role of the "scientist-activist" is developed. The differing time perspectives emerging in the nuclear controversy are reviewed.
