Early movement
In the 70s, there was a strong international movement in the so-called »Dreyeckland« (Germany, Switzerland, France) against nuclear plants. In that time, the building place of the nuclear plant Kaiseraugst was squatted.
Referendum
Two referendums against nuclear power in 1979 and 1984 were lost. In 1990, a referendum was accepted to stop the building of new plants for ten years [1].
There were two referendums against nuclear power in 2003, one of them to end nuclear plants (Strom ohne Atom), the other one just a moratorium for new plants (Moratorium jetzt). Both failed. After that, the swiss anti-nuclear movement was nearly nonexistent for a while.
In 2012, there will be a new referendum about the usage of nuclear power [2].
New movement
In 2007, it became public that the industry plans to build new plants within the next years. This put new life in the movement [3].
In Benken, there is resistance against a final storage of nuclear waste.
Groups
- Fokus AntiAtom [4] (former Aktion Mühleberg stilllegen)
- KLAR Schweiz [5] (Kein Leben mit atomaren Risiken, Benken)
