Legitimacy has long been understood as critical to the development of technological innovation, but there is a lacuna in our understanding of how consensus on a technology's credibility is achieved within specific discursive arenas. To address this, we focus on the lifetime of nuclear fast breeder reactor (FBR) technology in the UK; a government funded, developed, and operated energy project covering the period 1953-2000. We analyse 47 years of public debates and announcements in the House of Commons Hansard database on FBR using a discursive institutional lens. Specifically, we focus on the interplay between political actors' social judgements, their discursive work, and how this shapes the meso-level consensus around the development, deployment, and subsequent demise of FBR legitimacy. We present a framework to better understand and capture technology legitimacy dynamics at play and show how political actors' discursive work can legitimise or delegitimise technology in discursive arenas.
