Objective
A grounding thesis for the ARGONA project is that participation and transparency are key elements in effective risk governance. The project therefore intends to demonstrate, thereby also testing the thesis, how participation and transparency can be implemented in nuclear waste management (nwm) programmes. The project sists of a series of work packages that logically starts with an analysis of the policy making structures that exist within the EU and in the participating countries, including EU directives (such as EIA and SEA directives), and national nuclear safety and environmental legislation. The project then defines and analyses the three arenas of transparency (as provided by the RISCOM Model), deliberation (which draws on a notion of procedural legitimacy), and representative democracy. It investigates how the approaches of transparency and deliberation relate to each other and also how they relate to the political system in which decisions, for example on the final disposal of nuclear waste, are ultimately taken. The project then turns to study the role played by mediators, who facilitate public engagement with nuclear waste management issues, and the duct of the duct of public sultations. By the latter is meant the communication of models used for deliberation and transparency. One can say that this part of the project deals with mediators of issues and mediators of process. Furthermore, the project investigates how good risk communication can be organized taking cultural aspects and different arenas into account. In a central part of the project major efforts are made to test and apply approaches to transparency and participation by making explicit what it would mean to use the RISCOM model and other approaches within different cultural and organizational settings. Finally, the ARGONA partners develop guidelines for the application of novel approaches that will enhance real progress in nwm programmes.
