Nuclear Fear is Unscientific
Nuclear energy is safer than most people think, yet a fear factor persists.A great new talking point in the media and politics in recent years has been the use of the term “evidence-based” policy.
The concept of evidence-based policy is taken from the scientific and medical world and argues that all government, social and economic policy should be based on rigorous empirical study, not popular public opinion.
The hope or belief is that such a method will result in the best possible public policy outcomes.
Perhaps no technology has to deal with the lack of evidence-based policy like nuclear energy.
