Czechoslovak nuclear power referendum, 1964 (WFAC)

A referendum on the use of nuclear power was held in Czechoslovakia in 1964. Voters were asked whether they approved of a law allowing the peaceful use of nuclear power, particularly relating to the start-up of the Bohunice Nuclear Power Plant. The referendum passed, with 62.5% voting in favor. As a result, the building of the power plant in Jaslovské Bohunice (western Slovakia) was finished in 1969 and was commissioned on October 24, 1970.
