form part of the Safety and Radiation Protection (SOS) programme under the
Nordic Nuclear Safety research (NKS) planned for the years 1998-2001. The SOS
programme will comprise, in addition, a project on Reactor Safety, SOS-2, and
another on Nuclear Waste Safety, SOS-3.
The project SOS-1 aims primarily at promoting, among the “target group” -
educated public, media people, and decision makers, as well as the technical
experts in the various related fields, - enhanced understanding and rationalised
views in regard of managing nuclear risk and safety by lending transparency to
related, commonly complicated issues.
The approach consists for large part in organising well-prepared workshops on a
number of the truly basic issues concerning risk and safety with broad
participation of laymen as well as experts. The issues include risk perspectives
and perception, principal safety concepts and safety culture as well as the related
management aspects and questions in regard of making proper as well as
transparent assessments
The project will draw from the results of the other SOS projects and include
further research in selected areas. When successful the project would provide, in
practice, improved means of communicating more easily within the target group
as required to achieve the common understanding aimed at.
To be successful, the project requires dedicated participation on a broad basis. The
pre-project has indicated, in general, genuine interest among the authorities and
the utilities and clear willingness to participate to the extent possible. However, it
seems to remain to gain enhanced appreciation of the concept on part of the public
relations staff.
The pre-project group unanimously recommends the project for execution
according to proposed lines while continuing the efforts to ensure the broad
participation to be desired. | | Publication date: | 01 Aug 1999 | | ISBN: | ISBN: 87-7893-053-7 | | Number of downloads: | 2462 | | Download: |  NKS-05.pdf |
