Pigford, Shrader-Frechette & The Nrc Report On Yucca Mountain: Comment, David Okrent
Pigford, Shrader-Frechette & The Nrc Report On Yucca Mountain: Comment, David Okrent
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Okrent raises several questions related to, e.g., the uneven application of the goal of intergenerational equity.
Physical And Managed Risk Of Nuclear Waste, Lennart Sjöberg, Britt-Marie Drottz-Sjöberg
Physical And Managed Risk Of Nuclear Waste, Lennart Sjöberg, Britt-Marie Drottz-Sjöberg
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors describe their work on the perceived risk of nuclear waste in Sweden. Three levels of waste were studied, and comparisons between the perceptions of the public, politicians and nuclear experts are made.
Maximum Individual & Vicinity-Average Dose For A Geologic Repository Containing Radioactive Waste, Thomas H. Pigford
Maximum Individual & Vicinity-Average Dose For A Geologic Repository Containing Radioactive Waste, Thomas H. Pigford
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Explains the basis for his strong dissent to an NAS report on Yucca Mountain.
Academy Recommendations On The Proposed Yucca Mountain Waste Repository: Overview And Criticisms, Kristin S. Shrader-Frechette
Academy Recommendations On The Proposed Yucca Mountain Waste Repository: Overview And Criticisms, Kristin S. Shrader-Frechette
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Offers alternative criticism of the NAS report.
Evaluation Of Siting Strategies: The Case Of Two Uk Waste Tire Incinerators, Ragnar E. Lofstedt
Evaluation Of Siting Strategies: The Case Of Two Uk Waste Tire Incinerators, Ragnar E. Lofstedt
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Examines the circumstances that may have contributed to differing outcomes with respect to siting similar facilities in the UK.
The Regulation And Development Of Bioremediation, Susan J. Timian, D. Michael Connolly
The Regulation And Development Of Bioremediation, Susan J. Timian, D. Michael Connolly
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors describe how federal statutes regulating hazardous wastes create both incentives and disincentives for exploiting the large potential of bioremediation. Ultimately, they argue for regulation attending more to comparative risks and costs.
Fairness And Siting: Introduction To A Symposium, Joanne Linnerooth-Bayer, Ragnar E. Löfstedt
Fairness And Siting: Introduction To A Symposium, Joanne Linnerooth-Bayer, Ragnar E. Löfstedt
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The symposium editors note that, while there is no recipe for successful siting, some of the critical ingredients are identified here.
Risk Perception And Trust: Challenges For Facility Siting, Howard Kunreuther, Paul Slovic, Donald Macgregor
Risk Perception And Trust: Challenges For Facility Siting, Howard Kunreuther, Paul Slovic, Donald Macgregor
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors maintain that, by granting legitimacy to different notions of fairness and building on common values such as responsibility, it is possible to design siting procedures that promote social cohesion, trust and a sense of fair play.
Book Review, Peter C. Christensen
Book Review, Peter C. Christensen
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
