As the issue rises to the forefront of current energy and environmental policy debates, a critical policy analysis of radioactive waste management in the UK provides important insights for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eNuclear Waste Politics sets out a detailed historical and social scientific analysis of radioactive waste management and disposal in the UK from the 1950s up to the present day; drawing international comparisons with Sweden, Finland, Canada and the US. A theoretical framework is presented for analysing nuclear politics: blending literatures on technology policy, environmental ethics and the geography and politics of scale. The book proffers a new theory of \"ethical incrementalism\" and practical policy suggestions to facilitate a fair and efficient siting process for radioactive waste management facilities. The book argues that a move away from centralised, high capital investment national siting towards a regional approach using deep borehole disposal, could resolve many of the problems that the high stakes, inflexible \"megaproject\" approach has caused across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is an important resource for academics and researchers in the areas of environmental management, energy policy, and science and technology studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Cotton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367179288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367179281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Matthew Cotton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946547609855,"sku":"9780367179281","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_26716a2f-aeef-4946-b9cb-9340812a02f6.jpg?v=1681513773","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nuclear-waste-politics-matthew-cotton-9780367179281","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
