The Italian contribution to what is known in the English-speaking world as Nuclear-History has ben far from negligible in the past few years. The debate on the ex ploitation of nuclear energy has been marked in our country by two referendums, both-of which have been influenced by concomitant nuclear accidents. The publication of-new studies of the Chernobyl disaster occsioned by its anniversary and the exploitation-of nuclear energy for non-military purposes have greatly enriched the bibliography,-which is examined here in the international context.-
