Despite the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in
Japan, a growing number of countries are interested in expanding or
introducing nuclear energy. However, nuclear energy production and
nuclear waste disposal give rise to pressing ethical questions that
society needs to face. This book takes up this challenge with
essays by an international team of scholars focusing on the key
issues of risk, justice, and democracy. The essays consider a range
of ethical issues, including radiological protection, the influence
of gender in the acceptability of nuclear risk, and environmental,
international, and intergenerational justice in the context of
nuclear energy. They also address the question of when, and under
which conditions, nuclear energy should play a role in the world's
future supply of electricity, looking at both developing and
industrialized countries. The book will interest readers in ethics
and political philosophy, social and political sciences, nuclear
engineering, and policy studies.
