Inhaltsangabe

Many of the world's nuclear power plants were constructed long ago without significant public involvement in the associated decision making. It is anticipated, however, that a variety of stakeholders will seek participation in such decisions now as the nuclear option is being revisited in many places. Accidents, notably at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, have served to arouse public concern. The development of here-and-now media capabilities have created an awareness that may not have previously existed. Improvements in educational systems and the development of the Internet have made technical information and expertise available to individuals and locations that were previously without them. In addition, consideration of the environmental impacts of various energy strategies have moved to the fore. INSAG has concluded that the expectations of stakeholders of a right to participate in energy decisions are something that the nuclear community must address. Decisions regarding such matters as the siting and construction of a nuclear power plant are no longer something that is largely the domain of a closed community of technical experts and utility executives. Today, the concerns and expectations from all manner of persons and organizations - from the local farmer to the international financial institution - must be considered.--Publisher's description.
