Lively Doings: Centring Waste in Nuclear Waste Management
Nuclear actors often describe long-term nuclear waste management as a social problem, characterised by a lack of public acceptance and political will to implement waste management solutions. In public and social scientific discussions, waste itself tends to be sidelined. Analysing IAEA and NEA documents, we seek to shift attention to nuclear waste, with a focus on spent nuclear fuel (SNF). We trace some of the ways in which nuclear actors differe…
Who to turn to: Information collaging and peer information in hybrid renewable adoption
The adoption of renewable small-scale energy technologies (S-RET) into hybrid heating solutions consisting of several energy technologies is rapidly increasing in the domestic sector. The adoption of hybrid S-RET involves an information intensive process in fitting a combination of new technologies to existing energy and building infrastructure. The specifics of hybrid S-RET adoption processes and the related information acquisition processes hav…
Characterizing hybrid heating in the households: Diverse configurational arrangements premised on citizen's agency and peer-support
Household hybrid heating solutions can be conceptualized as arrangements that work. • Material resources shape what kinds of hybrids are sensible for households to obtain. • Households’ capacity to advance the energy transition is widely distributed through the hybridization of household heating. Households are moving beyond the adoption of single renewable energy technologies. Additive adoption of heating systems has resulted in ‘hybrid heating’…
Safer-than: Making Nuclear Waste Disposal More Familiar
Geological disposal has been proposed as the solution for managing the most radioactive nuclear wastes. These wastes stay hazardous for periods better measured in geological rather than human time. This challenges the capacity of science to accurately predict the future evolution and safety of geological disposal facilities. Thus nuclear waste management organisations, such as the Finnish Posiva, utilise a broad range of historical and cultural e…
Social sciences and radioactive waste management: Acceptance, acceptability, and a persisting socio-technical divide
Radioactive waste management (RWM) is a complex challenge, spanning various timeframes and societal domains, ranging from the technical, to the social, political and economic. As such, it has also attracted substantial attention from the social sciences. This article reviews social scientific engagement with RWM over the past two decades (2000-2019), with a particular focus on how this literature has engaged with and can be positioned vis-a-vis t…
