High-Activity Nuclear Waste Management Policy

This book describes the technical, social, and political challenges of developing a deep-mined, geologic repository for high-activity nuclear waste. It emphasizes how the technical estimates of repository performance affect non-technical considerations, such as trust and risk perceptions, and vice versa.

Aceasta carte descrie provocarile tehnice, sociale si politice ale dezvoltarii unui depozit geologic de deseuri nucleare de inalta activitate, exploatat la mare adancime. Subliniaza modul in care estimarile tehnice ale performantei depozitului afecteaza consideratiile non-tehnice, cum ar fi increderea si perceptiile riscurilor si invers.
