Discussion Groups CARL –Workshop Ljubljana, 10 February 2005

Six Questions for the Afternoon Discussion

Does hosting a nuclear facility automatically make a community into a stakeholder in the siting of future waste facilities ?

Is stakeholder involvement only something to be practiced in response to concrete issues (e.g. siting decisions) or can it serve to set the agenda more broadly for RWM programmes in different national contexts ?

Institutionalization of stakeholder involvement: a good or a bad thing ?

Expectations from “internationalization” stakeholdership issues: networking, research, regulations, … ?

How does the framing of the issue of radioactive waste management produced by your group or organisation differ from that of other key groups or organisations involved in the issue?

Has anything caused your group/other groups to reframe the way that you view the issue? If not, what might do so?
