The opinions form the government and anti-nuclear groups’ have never been able to achieve balance. Under anti-nuclear pressure, what people want and how to respond should be concerned by the government? The degrees of society’s democratization and political participation are the two major important variables in behavior of mass demonstrations. Political openness and democratization not only changed the country''s development strategies, but also did the forms of mass demonstrations. In the past, most literature of mass demonstrations relates to a single nuclear power plant as a case study, especially about the construction of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant. However, there is rarely a complete merger explore the process of the constructions of four nuclear power plants, this study demonstrates that the forms and the strategies of mass protests and the responses of the Government relating to all the nuclear power plants built in Taiwan. The themes of Anti-nuclear continues to be the world''s attention, therefore, the fight stories against nuclear power plant is quite representative. The stories help us understand the before and after different socio-political environment in the process of social transformation, anti-nuclear mass protest strategy and the Government''s response methods as the basis of Government how to hand of the public anti-nuclear movement and the public how to continue to promote for the anti-nuclear movement. It can analysis the intention of the population for the construction of nuclear power plants, as the Government to promote nuclear energy policy reference. The development process of anti-nuclear movement''s is corresponds with the political development stages， and the main four environmental factors to send the social movement are “the international environment”, “the domestic politics”, “the domestic economy” and “the energy policy”. In this study, nuclear power plants in Taiwan since 1978 the construction of the mass protests of the spindle for the study. The strategy of mass “protest behavior”, the Government "response" attitude for the study. Cross-oriented, sucked since 1978 is divided into four phases. Phase one from 1978 to 1986; the second phase from 1987 to 1995; the third stage is from 1996 to 2000 in March and the fourth stage March 2000 to 2011 study does not include our National "nuclear accident emergency response plan" regulated nuclear leakage accident and emergency crisis management strategy research. First stage of nuclear power struggle, most people fear caused by lack of understanding on nuclear energy; Second stage, because of political alliance expansion, the economic take-off, environmental protection and anti-nuclear groups and the representatives of public opinion against the government energy policy system; Third stage, electoral competition, barriers to the ruling party and the opposition alliance is clear, the formation of two opposing groups, the combination along the long struggle between political parties. Anti-nuclear environmental groups elected representatives with local people, the demands of content to resort to displacement, assuming that this regional planning into a nuclear power plant to the construction of the seat, the development of this area will be limited, government regulations locations need to build a nuclear power plant for the low population density areas, the relative small number of local residents, the protests are more susceptible to control, but the opposition parties and the ruling party still attaches great importance to this policy; Fourth stage, democratic maturity and with international standards, in the whole process of struggle, into the anti-nuclear environmental groups, local elected representatives combined operation of political parties to fight the consensus of the protests cohesion within countries.
