    Nuclear power for a dictatorship: state and business involvement in the Spanish atomic program 1950-1985
    (SAGE, 2016) Rubio Varas, MarĆ­a del Mar; Torre Campo, Joseba de la; EconomĆ­a; Ekonomia
    Spain was the first developing country to exploit a nuclear power plant commercially. By the early 1970s Spain had become the major nuclear client of the USA, the worldā€™s largest reactor exporter. Despite its importance, historians are just beginning to revisit and establish the sequence of the events that make up Spainā€™s nuclear history. This article analyses the role played by the state in enabling one of Western Europeā€™s poorest countries to join the exclusive nuclear power club. In a departure from the technological approach used in previous literature, the history of Spainā€™s progress in the nuclear power field is retraced against the background of its political and economic evolution.
