The events of Fukshima in 2011 mark a watershed in the history of atomic energy. Other than the Three Mile Island or Tchernobyl incidents, the failures in Fukushima led to a broad, continuing debate about a nuclear phaseout.
Especially in Germany, protests against atomic energy do not occur until Fukushima. Most notably, the decision of the German government under Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel to reverse the nuclear phaseout, which was agreed under a prior government, caused a strenghtening of the anti-nuclear movement.
