High-level nuclear waste (HLW) is a controversial and risky issue.
For the next 100 years, the HLW will be subject to policy decisions
and value assessments. Physically safe, technologically stable, and
socio-economically sustainable HLW-management will top the agenda.
That must be accomplished in a society whose segments are both
stable and in a rapid state of flux, under the influence of global
as well as national factors, private interests as well as the
vagaries of national politics. Among the challenges to be faced is
how to codify responsibilities of nuclear industry, governments and
international organisations, and any adopted management policy must
attain legitimacy at the local, national, regional and global
levels. All such considerations raise questions about the practical
and theoretical knowledge. This special issue book will address
these questions by exploring HLW-management in Canada, France,
Germany, India, Sweden, the UK and the USA. Special emphasis will
be placed on highlighting national context, current trends and
uncertainties, with relevance to a socially sustainable
contemporary and future HLW-management.
