Nuclear Waste Management in Canada: Critical Issues, Critical Perspectives

Nuclear Waste Management in Canada: Critical Issues, Critical Perspectives Hardcover - 2009

by Darrin Durant (Editor)

From the publisher

As oil reserves decline and the environment takes centre stage in public policy discussions, the merits and dangers of nuclear power and nuclear waste management are once again being debated. Nuclear Waste Management in Canada provides a critical counterpoint to the position of government and industry by examining not only the technical but also the social and ethical aspects of the issue. What do frequently used terms such as safety, risk, and acceptability really mean? And how and why did the public consultation process in Canada fail to address ethical and social issues? This timely collection defuses the uncertainty, ambiguity, and ignorance that surrounds discussions of nuclear energy.
