  • THE CONVERSION OF THE ATOM NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND IDEOLOGY IN FRANCOIST SPAIN Xavier Roqué Comunicación Science technology Franco regime nuclear energy At the beginning of the atomic age, Francoist Spain launched an expensive project to develop, research and use nuclear energy. Scientists, the military and high-ranking officials in the administration mobilised to materialise a technoscientific dream with an international scope. The modernity of nuclear science contrasts with the reactionary ideology of the regime, but the paradox is only apparent because until now there has not necessarily been any historical relationship between science and democracy. The drive towards nuclear technoscience reveals the mutual construction of science and politics during the Cold War era and the different ways to appropriate and exploit the atom during the dictatorship. 2017 artículo científico 2174-3487 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=511754472012 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5117 Mètode Science Studies Journal application/pdf Universitat de València Mètode Science Studies Journal (España) Num.7
