| description | Almost every new technology creates some fear at its inception. But probably no technology has generated more public fear than nuclear power, which "appears to evoke greater feelings of dread than do any other activities except terrorism and warfare" (13).

Its risks were seen as "involuntary, delayed, unknown, uncontrollable, unfamiliar, potentially catastrophic, dreaded and severe (certainly fatal)" (12). |
