sentences: In the 1960s the Austrian government started a nuclear energy program and parliament unanimously ordered a nuclear power plant built.
 In 1972, the German company KWU began construction of the Zwentendorf Nuclear Power Plant boiling water 700 MWe reactor.
 In 1976, two years prior to the nuclear power plant opening, the government began a program to educate its citizens on the benefits and safety of nuclear power.
 However, this campaign began a public discussion that led to large demonstrations against the Zwentendorf plant in 1977.
 On 15 December 1978, the Austrian Parliament voted in favor of a ban (BGBI.
 No. 676) on using nuclear fission for Austria’s energy supply until March 1998.
 This law also prohibits the storage and transport of nuclear materials in or through Austria.
 On 9 July 1997, the Austrian Parliament unanimously passed legislation to remain an anti-nuclear country.
The Darkhovin Nuclear Power Plant (also known as "Esteghlal Nuclear Power Plant") is a planned nuclear power plant located about 70 kilometers south of Ahvaz, Iran at the Karun river, as part of the Nuclear program of Iran.
 One reactor is firmly planned.
 Some other projects on this site were cancelled.
The Armenian Nuclear Power Plant (ANPP) (Armenian: Հայկական ատոմային էլեկտրակայան ), commonly known as the Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant, (Armenian: Մեծամորի ատոմային էլեկտրակայան) is the only nuclear power plant in the South Caucasus, which is located only 36 kilometers west of Yerevan, where Metsamor lies; an improper land for agricultural purposes.
 In common with other early VVER-440 plants but unlike Western LWRs, the ANPP lacks a containment building, which is usually a reinforced concrete or steel structure enclosing a nuclear reactor.
 The plant supplied approximately 40 percent of Armenia's electricity in 2015.
The Crystal River 3 Nuclear Power Plant, also called the "Crystal River Nuclear Plant", or simply "CR-3", is a closed nuclear power plant located in Crystal River, Florida.
 The facility is currently being decommissioned and is transitioning to a SAFSTOR condition.
 The power plant was completed and licensed to operate in December 1976, and operated safely for 33 years until shutdown in September 2009.
 It was the third plant built as part of the 4700 acre Crystal River Energy Complex (CREC) which contains a single nuclear power plant, while sharing the site with four operational fossil fuel power plants.
The nuclear power debate is a long-running controversy about the risks and benefits of using nuclear reactors to generate electricity for civilian purposes.
 The debate about nuclear power peaked during the 1970s and 1980s, as more and more reactors were built and came online, and "reached an intensity unprecedented in the history of technology controversies" in some countries.
 Thereafter, the nuclear industry created jobs, focused on safety and public concerns mostly waned.
 In the last decade, however, with growing public awareness about climate change and the critical role that carbon dioxide and methane emissions play in causing the heating of the earth's atmosphere, there's been a resurgence in the intensity nuclear power debate once again.
 Nuclear power advocates and those who are most concerned about climate change point to nuclear power's reliable, emission-free, high-density energy and a generation of young physicists and engineers working to bring a new generation of nuclear technology into existence to replace fossil fuels.
 On the other hand, skeptics can point to two frightening nuclear accidents, the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 and subsequently the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, combined with escalating acts of global terrorism, to argue against continuing use of the technology.
 The debate continues today between those who fear the power of nuclear and those who fear what will happen to the earth if we don't use nuclear power.
 At the 1963 ground-breaking for what would become the world's largest nuclear power plant, President John F. Kennedy declared that nuclear power was a "step on the long road to peace," and that by using "science and technology to achieve significant breakthroughs" that we could "conserve the resources" to leave the world in better shape.
 Yet he also acknowledged that the Atomic Age was a "dreadful age" and "when we broke the atom apart, we changed the history of the world."
The Siberian Nuclear Power Plant (Sibirskaya Nuclear Power Plant) was built in the city of Seversk (then known as Tomsk-7), Tomsk Oblast.
 It was the second nuclear power plant in the USSR and the first industrial-scale nuclear power plant in the country (the first NPP, built in Obninsk, had a capacity of only 6 MW).
The Jinshan Nuclear Power Plant or Chin Shan Nuclear Power Plant (金山核能發電廠), First Nuclear Power Plant (第一核能發電廠 or 核一), is a nuclear power plant in Shimen, New Taipei, Taiwan.
 Commissioned in 1978 for its first nuclear reactor, the plant is Taiwan's first nuclear power plant as well as Taiwan's smallest nuclear power plant.
Yerevan ( , ; Armenian: Երևան ] , sometimes spelled Erevan) is the capital and largest city of Armenia as well as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities.
 Situated along the Hrazdan River, Yerevan is the administrative, cultural, and industrial center of the country.
 It has been the capital since 1918, the thirteenth in the history of Armenia, and the seventh located in or around the Ararat plain.
The Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant () (formerly Gongliao Nuclear Power Plant and Fourth Nuclear Power Plant, often abbreviated as: ), located nearby Fulong Beach, Gongliao District, New Taipei City, is Taiwan's fourth nuclear power plant, consisting of two ABWRs each of 1,300 MWe net.
 It is owned by Taiwan Power Company (Taipower).
 It was intended to be the first of these advanced Generation III reactors built outside Japan.
 In 2014 construction of the plant was deferred.
The Kuosheng Nuclear Power Plant or Guosheng Nuclear Power Plant (國聖核能發電廠), Second Nuclear Power Plant (第二核能發電廠 or 核二), is a nuclear power plant in Wanli, New Taipei, Taiwan.
 The plant is currently the largest nuclear power plant in Taiwan, before the opening of the 2,700 MW Longmen Nuclear Power Plant which is still under construction.
