This report belongs to a collection of 20 short country reports on the History of Nuclear Energy and Society (HoNESt, project Ref.662268). The reports tackle the complex sociotechnical system around nuclear energy. Nuclear developments, notably nuclear energy, are closely intertwined with social, economic, environmental, political and cultural spheres. Nuclear energy is also a globalized system involving transnational transfers of knowledge, materials, technologies, people and products including electrical power, medical elements, toxic wastes and other environmental hazards, materials, capacities and knowledge that must be carefully safeguarded. Nuclear energy is a complex social and technological phenomenon that influences societies but is also shaped by societies.
