The long-term governance of radioactive waste continues to be a
major complex and contentious socio-technical issue worldwide.
Traditionally, it has been considered as mainly a challenge to
scientists and engineers to develop technical solutions to specific
problems. But increasingly these narrow solutions have been
enlarged by wider societal considerations such as ethics, public
involvement, control and retrievability - needs that have in the
meanwhile been recognised by the nuclear community, at least in a
general way. In this book, we analyse motives for a broad discourse
as well as suggest prerequisites to launch it. The author attempts
to give a novel, empirically based and technically sound treatment
of fundamental issues in long-term management and governance.
