Harrisburg and the ideology of the safety standards

Creators

Description

The events of three mile island one discussed in relation to safety standards. It was seen how the State operated with the contradictions that are inherited in the nuclear industry. The State used scientific categories to manipulate the people, while at the same time the impression was created that the people were being protected against the excesses of industry. The safety measures taken after the accident are critically outlined, particularly the late advice on evakuation. (C.F.)
