Cryrian Defense Forces: Difference between revisions

Line 722:
While Ulholm had represented the first Cryrian foray into commercial nuclear power, by 1974 the Kingdom had broken ground on the much larger Verventis Power Plant. Verventis was billed to the public as the first true example of Cryrian nuclear energy, and would provide power to Leidenstad itself. A second project, the Hallström Power Plant, was simultaneously ongoing but had stalled in the planning phases. Work on Verventis also began as the Kingdom both sought to shed the last legacies of the Tomorrow Ministry and simultaneously grappled with the aftermath of the highly controversial election of 1974, which had been marred by allegations of voter suppression and bomb threats in Lielsta. As such, Verventis was subject to a large-scale government publicity campaign that sought to bring focus to it as an example of Cryrian scientific achievement. Privately, Verventis was also expected to help produce an arsenal of a hundred nuclear devices.
 
The project almost immediately became mired in political conflicts and legal disputes alongside the rest of the program.
