passion vs. arguments

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences hosted a day on radiation risk in the context of final disposal of nuclear waste with researchers, industry, municipalities plus vocal opponents of, well, most everything.

60+ years after its introduction, nuclear energy remains an explosive topic. This sad state of affairs clouds our ability as a society to address the matter rationally. Then again, rationality is not in fashion these days.

But my thanks to all who contributed constructively. I learned a lot.

free press & trusted authorities are cornerstones for responding to a nuclear accident. -Sven-Ove Hansson @KTHuniversity at @vetenskapsakad
