2-9 Review of Factors Influencing 'Social Acceptability' - in considering long term waste management approaches
The NWMO has committed to "develop collaboratively with Canadians a management approach that is socially acceptable, technically sound, environmentally responsible, and economically feasible." This paper is designed to support discussion concerning the first of these four dimensions - social acceptability.
The objective of this paper is to help spark thinking about how the concept of 'social acceptability' might be understood, and what its requirements may be in decision-making related to the long-term management of used nuclear fuel in Canada. This paper begins with a brief discussion of the context within which 'social acceptability' entered into the dialogue on this public policy issue in Canada. The paper then outlines some of what various others have done and/or said. The paper concludes with a brief reflection.
