Anti-nuclear movement in California

The anti-nuclear movement in California refers to the collective efforts and activism aimed at opposing the construction, operation, and expansion of nuclear power plants and the use of nuclear energy in the state. This movement emerged primarily in response to safety concerns, environmental issues, and the potential risks associated with nuclear energy, particularly in the wake of notable nuclear accidents such as the Three Mile Island incident in 1979 and the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
