Résumé :
|
The objective of this paper is to examine how far the sustainability concept and the technique of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) can be applied to the problem of radioactive waste management. The paper begins with a slightly altered definition of the problem to the one carried in the NEA's backgroung document (NEA, 1994). A preliminary attempt is then be made to ascribe burdens to the various phases of long-lived radioactive waste management. The appropriateness of CBA and the sustainability concept for making decisions about long-term management policy is then discussed. We end with some conclusions about the appropriateness of systematic assessment approaches in the political process of constructing social consent for technological decisions.
