The Co-Expertise Process

Management processes involving citizens and experts in the post-nuclear accident reconstruction phase, is the result of extensive experience gained by researchers and practitioners in the areas contaminated by the Chernobyl accident in Belarus, Norway and the United Kingdom, and the Fukushima accident in Japan. Coming from diverse backgrounds, they enthusiastically shared their experiences, while adhering to rigorous scientific standards, to write thirteen essays that shed light on the challenges of restoring living conditions after a major nuclear event. Building on the recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, a series of analyses and testimonies are offered to students and researchers, as well as to professionals in the social sciences and humanities committed to risk governance and cooperation with public and private sector stakeholders.
