Nuclear lobby

The antinuclear movements evoke the existence of a nuclear lobby , definite like a group made up exerting of the pressures near the political institutions, the media and the public opinion in order to promote the development of nuclear programs.

If the existence and the practices of the Lobby S are recognized publicly in certain countries as with the the United States, in France the expression takes a all the more pejorative meaning as it indicates carried out more or less occult and unavowed the, real ones or supposed, representatives of the Technocratie of the nuclear energy.

This “nuclear lobby” French denounced in particular by the opponents with the nuclear energy utilization would be composed of the great institutions, companies and bodies, project superintendents of the filère. The Antinucléaire S distinguish the interests related to civil technology from the nuclear power, with its study and scientists use, of those dependant its military applications, with steppings between the two fields, civilian and soldier.

For the antinuclear militants the members of the “nuclear lobby”, and in particular most influential form a elite “Nucléocrate S”: pro-nuclear civils servant or industrialists, politicians. This “nuclear lobby” is shown by the antinuclear miliants to carefully control any debate on the nuclear power and energy, and to diffuse a speech pronucléaire near the elected officials, in the schools and the media, for the benefit of nuclear industry.

The partisans of nuclear energy denounce on their side the a priori of the antinuclear ones which would be reached of “nucléophobie”, i.e. a fear unreasoned and ideological of all that can have milked with nuclear energy, compared immediately to Hiroshima or Tchernobyl.
