Usage Note

Antinucleare is used both for opposition to nuclear weapons (movimento antinucleare — anti-nuclear movement) and for opposition to nuclear energy (protesta antinucleare). It is invariable in gender, with only a plural form antinucleari. The term gained prominence in Italy after the 1987 referendum that effectively halted nuclear power.
