Plogoff nuclear power project

Plogoff, France

The Plogoff nuclear power plant project was an EDF project to build a nuclear power plant in the commune of Plogoff in Finistère, Brittany. Popular mobilization against the project between 1978 and 1981 led to its abandonment. This anti-nuclear movement was part of a period marked by the birth of political ecology worldwide.
