18 ARGONA ARENAS FOR RISK GOVERNANCE NOVEL METHODS FOR IMPROVED DECISION-MAKING The ARGONA project intends to demonstrate how participation and transparency link to political and legal systems. In particular it will show how new approaches can be implemented in discussion and policy-making for nuclear waste management programmes. Theoretical development will be undertaken and new approaches tested. Decision-makers and stakeholders at both national and local levels will be involved in the project. Improving theory and practice ARGONA involves fourteen organisations from eight countries. Together they represent implementers and regulators of nuclear waste management, university institutions, research institutes and consultant companies. Some of the participants are actively involved in nuclear waste management programmes, while others are researchers in natural and social sciences. Research activities will also include actors from civil society, such as local authorities, public interest groups, and non-governmental organisations. The project is coordinated by the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) and managed by Karita Research, Sweden. ARGONA will analyse the processes in a wide set of models for deliberation and transparency in the light of current political and legislative structures in a more conscious way than has been done so far. The project will also show the way forward through the implementation of new and innovative approaches to transparency and participation in decision-making. This will mean transferring not just theoretical knowledge between countries in Europe but also know-how on implementation. Transparency and risk communication While realising that informing the public on methods for nuclear waste management is not sufficient for public acceptance, the nuclear waste management community Josefin Päiviö Jonsson Project Coordinator Kjell Andersson Project Manager has entered a phase of actively encouraging stakeholder participation and input and of engaging the social sciences on a much larger scale than was the case just a decade ago. However, there remains scope for increased progress in such European programmes. This is the case in Western Europe in spite of the fact that this is where most of the research has so far been devoted to transparency and participation. The new EU member states are now de - veloping their own approaches but they also want to gain from methodologies developed earlier within the EU research programmes. ARGONA will investigate how approaches to transparency and deliberation relate to each other and also how they relate to the political system in which decisions, in particular on the final disposal of nuclear waste, are ultimately taken. The project will then turn to study the role played by mediators – those who facilitate public engagement with nuclear waste management issues – and the conduct of public consultations. In particular, the communication of models used for deliberation and transparency during consultation exercises will be studied. Furthermore, the project will investigate how good risk communication can be organised taking cultural aspects of the participants and different arenas or forums into account. In a central part of the project major efforts will be made to test and apply approaches to transparency and EURATOM FP6 RESEARCH PROJECTS AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES Volume III
