Book excerpt: Sous la pression de certains lobbies, les gouvernements successifs, de droite comme de gauche, ne cessent de renforcer l'arsenal nucléaire de la France et d'entasser dans le sol de l'Hexagone des déchets radioactifs en dépit des effets désastreux pour l'avenir du pays.

Download or read book Conflicts Participation and Acceptability in Nuclear Waste Governance written by Achim Brunnengräber and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the last part of a trilogy and concludes a long-term project that focussed on nuclear waste governance in 24 countries. It deals with core themes of the disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW), e.g. the wicked problems of housing nuclear waste disposal facilities, public participation and public discourse, voluntarism and compensation in siting as well as the role of advisory bodies and commissions. The volume reflects on the diverse factors that shape the debate on what can be considered an ”acceptable solution” and on various strategies adopted in order to minimise conflicts and possibly increase acceptability. The various theoretical and empirical contributions shed light on several mechanisms and issues touched upon in these strategies, such as the role of trust, voluntarism, economic interests at stake, compensation, ethics, governance, and participation.

Download or read book Learning from Fukushima written by Peter Van Ness and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning from Fukushima began as a project to respond in a helpful way to the March 2011 triple disaster (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown) in north-eastern Japan. It evolved into a collaborative and comprehensive investigation of whether nuclear power was a realistic energy option for East Asia, especially for the 10 member-countries of ASEAN, none of which currently has an operational nuclear power plant. We address all the questions that a country must ask in considering the possibility of nuclear power, including cost of construction, staffing, regulation and liability, decommissioning, disposal of nuclear waste, and the impact on climate change. The authors are physicists, engineers, biologists, a public health physician, and international relations specialists. Each author presents the results of their work.

Download or read book Les accidents de r acteurs nucl aires written by MARGUET Serge and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-04-20 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le but de cet ouvrage est de faire partager des événements peu connus à un large public peu au fait de cette technologie tout en étant, scientifiquement et historiquement, rigoureusement exact. Une information scientifique de qualité est nécessaire dans un domaine aussi complexe que le nucléaire, au risque de produire des vérités creuses, voire même des contre-vérités. Les accidents de réacteurs nucléaires présente une analyse historique et scientifique objective des accidents de réacteurs significatifs depuis le début du nucléaire : l'incendie de Windscale et de Vandellos, l'excursion de puissance du SL-1, la fusion partielle des réacteurs Saint-Laurent et EBR-2, la perte du réacteur de TMI-2 et l'explosion de Tchernobyl pour finir par la récente affaire de Fukushima et ses développements les plus récents. Le déroulement des accidents et leurs conséquences à la fois techniques et humaines sont présentés objectivement, sans dédouaner le nucléaire de ses responsabilités. Le texte est rédigé de manière à ce qu'un non-spécialiste puisse aborder progressivement des aspects pourtant hautement techniques, habituellement réservés aux physiciens et présente des éléments rarement, voire jamais développés, dans la presse grand-public. Cet ouvrage est illustré de photographies et de schémas techniques qui agrémentent la lecture et aident activement à la compréhension de ces accidents.

Download or read book The Radiance of France new edition written by Gabrielle Hecht and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-07-31 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How it happened that technological prowess and national glory (or “radiance,” which also means “radiation” in French) became synonymous in France as nowhere else. In the aftermath of World War II, as France sought a distinctive role for itself in the modern, postcolonial world, the nation and its leaders enthusiastically embraced large technological projects in general and nuclear power in particular. The Radiance of France asks how it happened that technological prowess and national glory (or “radiance,” which also means “radiation” in French) became synonymous in France as nowhere else. To answer this question, Gabrielle Hecht has forged an innovative combination of technology studies and cultural and political history in a book that, as Michel Callon writes in the new foreword to this edition, “not only sheds new light on the role of technology in the construction of national identities” but is also “a seminal contribution to the history of contemporary France.” Proposing the concept of technopolitical regime as a way to analyze the social, political, cultural, and technological dynamics among engineering elites, unionized workers, and rural communities, Hecht shows how the history of France's first generation of nuclear reactors is also a history of the multiple meanings of nationalism, from the postwar period (and France's desire for post-Vichy redemption) to 1969 and the adoption of a “Frenchified” American design. This paperback edition of Hecht's groundbreaking book includes both Callon's foreword and an afterword by the author in which she brings the story up to date, and reflects on such recent developments as the 2007 French presidential election, the promotion of nuclear power as the solution to climate change, and France's aggressive exporting of nuclear technology.

Download or read book VERSUS Heritage for Tomorrow written by Correia, Mariana and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vernacular architecture represents a great resource that has considerable potential to define principles for sustainable design and contemporary architecture. This publication is the result of an overall aim to produce a valuable tool for analysis regarding vernacular heritage through different assessments, in order to define principles to consider for sustainable development. This was possible through a comprehensive reflection on the principles established and the strategies to recognise in different world contexts. The present publication was the result of an in-depth approach by 46 authors from 12 countries, concerned with the analysis and critical assessment of vernacular heritage and its sustainable perspective. The book presents 8 chapters addressing operational definitions and synopses advances, regarding the main areas of vernacular heritage contribution to sustainable architecture. It also presents 15 chapters and 53 case studies of vernacular and contemporary approaches in all the 5 continents, regarding urban, architectural, technical and constructive strategies and solutions. VERSUS, HERITAGE FOR TOMORROW: Vernacular Knowledge for Sustainable Architecture is the result of a common effort undertaken by the partners ESG | Escola Superior Gallaecia, Portugal, as Project leader; CRAterre | École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Grenoble, France; DIDA | Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy; DICAAR | Università degli Studi di Cagliari, Italy; and UPV | Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain. This is the final outcome of VerSus, an European project developed from 2012 to 2014, in the framework of the Culture 2007-2013 programme.
