Risk and Social Construction of Nuclear Power Development in China: Local People’s Participation in Civil Nuclear Issues in China at the start of the 21st Century Xiang Fang PhD in Sociology University of Edinburgh 2010 Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis was composed by the author, the work contained herein is my own except where specific reference is made to other sources, and it has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification except as specified. Signed: Date: II Abstract China’s civil nuclear power programme is a sensitive topic which has seldom been researched by social or political scientists inside or outside of China. In the past, public participation activities in relation to nuclear power issues in China were rare. However, in 2005, when the central government decided to promote civil nuclear development and build 40 more nuclear reactors within the next 20 years, the public started to become aware of the potential environmental risks that might be caused by nuclear power sites. Based on six months of ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2007-2008, this thesis represents the first in-depth study of local people’s ways of participation concerning a potential inland nuclear power project in China. It provides rich empirical materials to illustrate local people’s differing perceptions of nuclear power and its risks. The thesis reviews developments in the sociological theorisation of ‘risk’ and, by bringing this body of literature into dialogue with the empirical case study, explores its possibilities and limitations as a means of understanding the social construction of risk in contemporary China. In exploring the social, cultural and political context of risk construction, it illustrates how political power and social status influence local people’s participation in nuclear power issues. It also demonstrates that citizens’ growing environmental risk awareness helps to create space within which they can make their voices heard and, simultaneously, that generating open spaces for people to express their opinions helps to shape their awareness of environmental risk. The central conclusion of the analysis is that, in the context of Chinese society political power, by which I mean policy makers’ ideology and all levels of governments, plays a particularly crucial role in the definition, management and governance of nuclear risk. III Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere thanks to my supervisor Prof Steven Yearley for his unfaltering guidance, patience and sense of responsibility throughout my Master’s and PhD study.

In this study, all the temperature and precipitation data from two meteorological stations, namely, Wuhua and Longchuan, the measured monthly runoff data in Hezikou Hydrological Station from 1961 to 2013, and the land-cover type data in 1990 and 2013 are used. This study yields valuable results. First, over the past 53 years, the temperature in the river basin rose substantially, without obvious changes in the average annual precipitation. From 1981 to 2013, the annual runoff fluctuated and declined, and this result is essentially in agreement with the time-series characteristics of precipitation.

  • 18. Kuo Shou-Ching (1231-1316)
    18. KUO SHOU-CHING (1231-1316) Kuo Shou-ching, T. Jo-ssu, was born in 1231 at Hsing-t'ai, in the Shun-te administration (Hopei), during the reign of the Chin emperor Ai-tsung (r. 1224-34). The names of his parents can no longer be traced, but it is known that his grandfather, Kuo Jung, was well-educated in the classics and mathematics, and had an interest in water works. Kuo Yung was a friend of his townsman, Liu Ping-chung (q.v.), later the Buddho-Taoist confidant of Qubilai Qa'an, who possessed a good knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, and geography. As a child Kuo Shuo-ching is said to have already shown traits setting him apart from other children, inasmuch as he took no pleasure in games and play. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he came across a diagram of the 'Lotus Clepsydra' (lien-hua lou) and was able to understand at first sight the principle of this time-keeping device. (The 'Lotus Clepsydra' was so called because the top of the recipient vessel was shaped like a lotus flower.) The instrument had been devised by the Northern Sung scientist Yen Su and officially adopted in 1036. In 1246, Liu Ping-chung returned to Hsing-t'ai to observe the mourning period for his father and stayed there for a few years. During that time, Liu and a group of scholars, including Chang Wen-ch'ien (q.v.), Chang I (d. 1282), Wang Hsiin (1235-81) and others were in the habit of meeting regularly for scholarly discussions at Tzu-chin Mountain, west of Hsing-chou (Shun-te).

    Climate Variability and Human Activities in Relation to Northeast Asian Land-Ocean Interactions and Their Implications for Coastal Management 2005-05-CMY-Adrianov Final Report submitted to APN ©Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research, 2006 Overview of project work and outcomes Summary In course of the 2-year APN-funded project, new data on estuarine and coastal changes in areas adjoining the Amur, Tumen and Razdolnaya Rivers were obtained, and recommendations for management of sustainable coastal development of the region are presented including China and Korea coastal zones. Two expeditions to Amur and Razdolnaya Rivers mouth areas were orga- nized, and hydrological regime, oceanography, environmental contamination, state of benthic and plankton comminities were investigated in connection with climatic changes. Three workshops were held: in Nanjing, China, Dec. 2004; Training Course for Young Scientists, Vladivostok, Russia, Oct. 2005; back-to-back with a science session for local policy-makers; in Vladivostok, May 2006. A website of the project was created (http://www.imb.dvo.ru/misc/apn/index.htm), and two books, Ecological Studies and State of the Ecosystem of Amursky Bay and Razdolnaya River Mouth and a collective monograph are in preparation. Two books and 19 papers in peer- reviewed journals were published and/or prepared. Future directions may include comparison of different coastal management strategies and understanding of how we can use these national strategies to develop complex management approach. Objectives The main objectives of the project were: 1. to identify estuarine and coastal changes in terms of hydrology, hydrochemistry, geo- chemistry, geomorphology, ecosystem and material cycling patterns of the Northeastern Asia region, with special reference to the Amur, Tumen and Razdolnaya Rivers; 2.
