Radioactive+Exposure+and+Risk+Assessment

Highly relevant studies focusing explicitly on radioactive risks and risk assessment (Carlisle 1997; Perin 2005; Boudia 2007). Many of these studies delve into the questions of public participation, expert authority, and public debate, including studies that focus explicitly on concerns about radiation exposure and environmental management (Kuletz 1998; Schoch-Spana 1998; Kirsch 2004; Hecht forthcoming).
