Focusing on the historical and social dimensions of radioactive waste management in the UK since the 1950s, this book offers an in-depth analysis that includes international comparisons. It introduces a theoretical framework that merges technology policy, environmental ethics, and political geography. The concept of "ethical incrementalism" is proposed, along with practical policy recommendations for a more equitable siting process. The author advocates for a shift from centralized megaprojects to regional deep borehole disposal, aiming to address existing challenges in waste management.
