Kaiseraugst Nuclear Power Plant
The site for the Kaiseraugst Nuclear Power Plant is located in north-west Switzerland beside the river at Kaiseraugst, a short distance to the east of Basel. Plans to build and operate the power plant were the subject of increasingly high-profile controversy over many years. The project failed because of bitter and ultimately effective opposition from the local population and because it became a cause célèbre for environmentalist pressure groups in Switzerland and across German speaking central Europe more generally. The matter hit the headlines most powerfully in 1975, with an eleven-week occupation of the site by a large number of people (estimated, initially, at around 15,000 people). The project was finally abandoned in 1988.
