Description

There are three types of interrogation in nuclear communication. The first type concerns hygiene: 'what risks are you making me run?' The second concerns the perception of research and industrial activities, which corresponds to the categories: Mystery, Magic, power, expressed in the following way: 'You are mysterious', 'aren't you sorcerer's apprentices?', 'You decide everything, you are party and judge'. The third concerns the choice of society in Nuclear Energy. In all of this, technical reasoning alone is insufficient. It's the way it's done that counts. It's the way of listening. Our tools of communication must be forged with this in view. (author)
