AbstractAbstract
[en] The impact of nuclear critics on the regulating process is difficult to analyse as the question is to identify them and to define their aim. In the United States it is generally considered that such critics are the new class of liberal intellectuals who have been politically jolted by Vietnam and Watergate. On this side of the Atlantic, the anti-nuclear movement seems different, less coherent and more complex: the local opposition, the environmentalists and the militant radicals. All these opponents can intervene at three levels: technically they attack the technical standards applied and propose other energy sources. At regulatory level they can influence decision-making provided they are in a majority; politically they take action on behalf of the basic respect of democracy for minorities and individual rights.

L'influence des critiques anti-nucleaires sur le processus reglementaire est difficile a analyser car il s'agit d'identifier les contestataires et de definir leurs buts. En Amerique on considere generalement que c'est la nouvelle classe d'intellectuels liberaux politiquement secoues par le Vietnam et Watergate. De ce cote-ci de l'Atlantique, le mouvement anti-nucleaire semble different, moins coherent mais plus complexe: ce sont les oppositions locales, les ecologistes et les militants extremistes. Tous ces opposants peuvent intervenir a trois niveaux: sur le plan technique, ils s'attaquent aux normes techniques appliquees, et proposent des energies de rechange. Sur le plan legislatif ils influent sur la prise de decision a condition de disposer d'une majorite; sur le plan politique ils menent l'action au nom du principe democratique du respect des minorites et des droits individuelsPrimary Subject
