Déconstruire la politique européenne de gestion des déchets nucléaires

More often than not, categories structuring techno-scientific problems appear to us as epistemologically objective and morally neutral. However, it also seems that issues such as the environment or the struggle for public health are amongst the most politically charged ones. In this essay we examine the categories that structure the recent Proposal for a Council Directive on the management of spent fuel and radioactive waste, in order to identify the important actors of this field and their spaces of discussion. Such an analysis should highlight the political dimension of the seemingly unbiased categories that are put forward in this technical debate.
