Current Challenges to U.S. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Policies: Arguments and Tactics

摘要

The nuclear debate has become virulent in the United States in recent years. Opponents of nuclear power have developed the debate in Congress, in Federal Courts and Federal Agencies which are the principal forums. They use mass media, elaborate strategies, adopt arguments and tactics of a political, economic and technical nature. This paper examines several aspects of their intervention in the nuclear decision-making process of the authorities. (Atomindex citation 10:431076)
