%X Spain began to show interest in nuclear energy in the late 1940＊s. In 1964 the Nuclear Energy Law was approved, and in 1972 the Nuclear and Radioactive Sites Regulation was developed. Safety and regulation activities were entrusted to the Nuclear Safety Council (Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear) created in 1980, and the research and management of radioactive waste to the National Radioactive Waste Company (Empresa Nacional de Residuos Radiactivos), created in 1985. The structure of Spain＊s nuclear industry began to be created in the 1960＊s, as a consequence of the decision to build the nuclear power plants of Jos谷 Cabrera, Santa Mar赤a de Garo a and Vandell車s I. In the next stage, during the 1970＊s, the Almaraz, Asc車 and Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plants were built. During the third stage, in the 1980＊s, the Vandell車s II and Trillo I Nuclear Power Plants were built. Nowadays, the expert and efficient Spanish nuclear industry is a guarantee that nuclear technology is maintained in Spain, and not only to support the operating plants but also a reactivated international nuclear market. Spain has the necessary infrastructure, the technical capacity, the financial resources and the companies＊ willpower in a common effort to provide Spaniards with reliable, cheap and sustainable electric energy that respects the environment and guarantees security for citizens. Nuclear energy is, definitively, a key component today and in the future. Espa a comenz車 a interesarse por la energ赤a nuclear a finales de los a os cuarenta. En el a o 1964 se aprob車 la Ley de Energ赤a Nuclear, y en el a o 1972 se desarroll車 el Reglamento de Instalaciones Nucleares y Radiactivas. Las actividades de seguridad y regulaci車n se encomendaron al Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear, creado en 1980, y la investigaci車n y gesti車n de los residuos radiactivos a la Empresa Nacional de Residuos Radiactivos (ENRESA), creada en 1985. La estructura industrial nuclear en Espa a comenz車 a desarrollarse en los a os sesenta, como consecuencia de la decisi車n de construir las centrales nucleares de Jos谷 Cabrera, Santa Mar赤a de Garo a y Vandell車s I. En la siguiente etapa, en la d谷cada de los a os setenta, se construyeron las centrales de Almaraz, Asc車 y Cofrentes. Durante la tercera etapa, en la d谷cada de los a os ochenta, se construyeron las centrales de Vandell車s II y Trillo I. Actualmente, la industria nuclear espa ola, experta y eficaz, es garant赤a de que la tecnolog赤a nuclear se conserva en Espa a no solo para apoyar a las centrales nucleares en operaci車n, sino para atender un mercado nuclear reactivado a nivel internac
