The essay analyzes, using an historical perspective, how the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) presented nuclear power as some sort of new scientific utopia destined to change the fate of humanity and how, between 1954 and 1979, this Promethean utopia was gradually scratched by a series of economic, political and social dynamics, and in particular by anti-nuclear movements.
