Opis

Planning for the management of nuclear wastes, whatever their level of radioactivity, is one of the most important environmental problems for all societies that produce utility, industrial, medical, or other radioactive waste products. Attempts to site low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities in Western industrial societies, however, have repeatedly engendered conflicts between governments, encountered vehement opposition on the part of local citizen groups, and given rise to overt hostilities among involved parties.
