  • Descrição: European nuclear policy and research programs increasingly emphasize the importance of initiating dialogue with citizens and ‘public participation’ in nuclear research and development (R&D). In this presentation, I consider how these formally-sanctioned appeals to participatory science communication are received and enacted in nuclear R&D spaces. Based on my interdisciplinary work as a social scientist in radiological protection, I illustrate how colleagues (nuclear scientists, engineers, safety personnel) increasingly show awareness of the challenges of publicly communicating science, while continuing to view the public as ignorant of science and in need of science education. Whereas this deficit view has been widely criticized by social scientists studying the public communication of science, I argue that it can facilitate the ‘opening up’ of R&D processes to wider publics and considerations when it is clearly differentiated from contending science communication models and practices. Social scientists can help to make differentiation of this kind instructive and potentially transformative for all stakeholders, not by insisting on symmetrical, two-way dialogue between them but by urging them to articulate and refine their views in confrontation with competing problem definitions, stakes, and evidence.
