The analysis focuses on the dictatorial regime of the New State (from the beginning of the nuclear program in 1951 until the 1974 revolution) and on the democratic period (post-1974). Portugal, as an exporting country of uranium minerals, significantly invested in the development of a national capacity in nuclear research, but never developed an endogenous nuclear power infrastructure. Through the analysis of parliamentary debates, this article characterizes the dynamic evolution of the Portuguese sociotechnical imaginary on nuclear energy and technology interlinked with ambivalent representations, including the promise of nuclear energy as key for the constitution of a technological Nation or as prompting new sociotechnical risks.Sage Publications2017info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10316/41784http://hdl.handle.net/10316/41784https://doi.org/10.1177/0963662516662738https://doi.org/10.1177/0963662516662738eng0963-66251361-6609http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0963662516662738Pereira, Tiago SantosCarvalho, AntónioFonseca, Paulo F.
