    Abstract:
    This paper explores the Architecture of the first generation nuclear power plants in Spain, developed from 1963 to 1972. The spanish power companies selected to renowned architects such as Antonio Fernández Alba, Ignacio Álvarez Castelao and Antonio Bonet Castellana, for the José Cabrera, Santa María de Garoña and Vandellòs nuclear power plants. The proposals of this group of architects altered the urban structure and incorporate in their proposals plastic disciplines, as sculpture and paintings. Nevertheless, the power companies rejected these proposals because of incompatibilities with safety and nuclear technology. Instead, the three architects performed smaller and budget-scale strategies. These interventions are also required to establish a dialog between the geographic scale of the place, the scale of the nuclear power plant and the human scale of the worker.
