PIAZ, Agustín. Producción de nucleoelectricidad y resistencias sociales: tres décadas de reclamos por una «Córdoba no nuclear». Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2020, n.61, pp.55-65. ISSN 1851-1716.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.33255/3161/674.

In this paper we study the resistance to nuclear technology in the Córdoba province of Argentina. We describe and analyze contentious episodes emerging since the return to democracy in 1983 over the nuclear power production cycle. The work identifies actors, arguments and contentious performances, as well as outcomes and consequences. We argue that resistance acts to nuclear technology in Córdoba have taken place with varied levels of citizen engagement and prominence in the public sphere for over three decades. During this period, resistance has prompted contention over power generation, environmental concerns and has promoted change to technological processes and collective claims.
