Abstract
This analysis of the nuclear energy development in the FRG up to date shows that neither energypolitical necessities nor unreasonable 'experts' overlooking dangers are the pushing agents in this development, but that influent monopoly groups force the expansion of nuclear energy because they see favourable possibilities for capital investment and utilization in nuclear energy and expect a profitable world market for nuclear-technical plants. It is seen clearly that this development is only possible with extensive governmental support at the expense of the population, the main clement of governmental nuclear energy policy and a close co-operation of government and monopolies. It is also seen that the present environmental- and safety dangers in the application of nuclear energy in the FRG do not result from nuclear energy being principally uncontrollable but from the capitalistical form of their application, from the application of a highly complicated, technology which brings qualitatively new problems and urges for sociological socialistical conditions of production and which can only be used in a responsible way without dangers under an efficient democratical control of its technical, ecological and safety-political problems, but not in the hands of combines only interested in the best possible utilization of their capital. Accordingly, as
