商品描述

The development of nuclear technologies for war, medicine, and energy production dramatically increased the number of people exposed to artificial radioactivity and raised new stakes and questions about protecting them. This volume examines how the establishment of standards and protocols for radiation protection was not only a technical process, but also the byproduct of extensive and ongoing negotiations among scientists, states, international bodies, lawyers, economists, companies, unions, and activists. Over time, exposed individuals--whether Japanese survivors, accident or fallout victims, atomic veterans, or workers--have leveraged their own experiences of radiation exposure to challenge powerful institutions and their standards. Contributors explore radiation risk and protection policies across the globe, from Japan to Canada, the United Kingdom to North Africa, and Spain to Greece. They excavate the legal, scientific, diplomatic, and personal challenges posed by radiation protection. Chapters move from the individual and institutional to the global level, arguing that issues of radiation exposure, like so many other forms of risk, are never merely personal but deeply, often invisibly, political and diplomatic.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

核技術在戰爭、醫療和能源生產方面的發展，顯著增加了接觸人工放射性的人的數量，並提出了有關保護他們的新挑戰和問題。本書探討了輻射防護標準和協議的建立不僅是一個技術過程，也是科學家、國家、國際機構、律師、經濟學家、公司、工會和活動家之間廣泛且持續談判的副產品。隨著時間的推移，無論是日本的倖存者、事故或輻射影響的受害者、原子退伍軍人，還是工人，這些接觸輻射的個體都利用自身的輻射暴露經驗來挑戰強大的機構及其標準。貢獻者探討了全球範圍內的輻射風險和防護政策，從日本到加拿大，從英國到北非，從西班牙到希臘。他們挖掘了輻射防護所帶來的法律、科學、外交和個人挑戰。各章節從個人和機構層面轉向全球層面，主張輻射暴露問題，像許多其他風險形式一樣，從來不僅僅是個人的，而是深刻且常常不明顯地政治和外交問題。
