– Causes and consequences of nuclear Sample Clauses

– Causes and consequences of nuclear accident A late section of the protocol asked various questions about nuclear accidents as an example of risks related to the use of ionizing radiation. It should be noted however that the example of nuclear accidents, Chernobyl and Fukushima, spontaneously emerged early in many interviews. At the end of this section we provide a detailed mental model mapping of nuclear accidents differentiating Chernobyl and Fukushima events. Many interviewees said that nuclear accident is not a national question but a cross‐border issue. Using Chernobyl as a reference, they said that one must reason at a European or larger international scale. With irony, subjects recall that the Chernobyl cloud was supposed to have 'stopped at the French border' (according to a famous – and deformed – statement attributed at the time to the head of the radiological protection service). This is judged as stupid and deceitful communication. Although they admit that it may have been advanced to reassure the population and avoid panic, this emblematic statement is deeply rooted in memory and affects the confidence that can be accorded to the management of such a crisis. Causal factors for nuclear accident as mentioned by interviewees include:  Failure of vigilance  Underqualification of staff (hiring of temporary or sub‐contracted personnel)  Human error  Dangers inherent to nuclear technology  Chain of events  An increasingly hostile world in which terrorist events are more frequent  Planetary phenomena due to climatic change which could augment the risk of accident as well as the gravity of consequences. Figure 16 on the following page shows a detailed mapping of the lay mental model of nuclear accidents, their causes and consequences on many levels. Notice particularly the high consciousness that the various impacts all reinforce damage to physical, psychological and emotional health.
