The nuclear disaster at the Fukushima power plant in March 2011 was a central event in the crisis beginning in the government and economy of Japan and leading to a worldwide controversy on the use of the nuclear energy. The approach taken by the media went beyond the usual news broadcasting, reporting causes and immediate consequences and placing Fukushima and its developments, for several months, at central stage place in the news on economy, geopolitics, energy and environmental policy, technology, sociology of organizations, communication and information policy. The news produced by one of the news agencies about the disaster were used in this work to present the kernel of the nuclear controversy, its development and stabilization, taking into account questions and different policies, highlighting the organization process, toward the definition of issues and positions that have led to the resurgence of the controversy. The choice of this work to explore the nuclear controversy through the TV broadcasting news is based on the perspectives, already explored in the 1980's, on the intense information flux such as happened at Fukushima disaster, to interfere on the risk perception related to similar events (SLOVIC, 1987; KASPERSON et al, 1988; JASPER,1988, 1992; KRIMSKY, 1992), and therefore on the controversy stabilization. It allowed to discuss the relationship between information and communication, and how to verify the processes of broadcasting organization and selectivity. It can explain its potentiality to define, adjust the focus and spread a controversy. On the other hand, explaining the conservative forces, we defend that the institutional or public communication tend to avoid the conflict development.
