  • No Nukes Study You Don't Need to Be a Nuclear Physicist to Understand
    No Nukes Study You don’t need to be a nuclear physicist to understand that nuclear weapons and nuclear power are both bad for our species and bad for the planet. It’s not exactly rocket science to understand our need to move away from both nuclear energy and fossil fuels and toward a safe, sustainable, and democratic energy system based on solar, wind, and other renewable resources. However, given the powerful economic interests, often called the “Merchants of Death,” which profit from United States nuclear weapons and the rest of the U.S. war machine and which exert an undue and undemocratic influence on U.S. policy through making us accept the nuclear/fossil fuel complex, it is wise to arm oneself with a better understanding of nuclear and sustainable energy issues. The literature is vast, both published and on the web. Here is a listing of some of the most important internet resources, most of which have additional links. Atomic Archive. This site explores the complex history surrounding the invention of the atomic bomb. Includes a good section on the history of the Cold War. http://www.atomicarchive.com/index.shtml Fiat Pax is a project to provide information to university students, faculty, and the public regarding the militarization of science and the university, focusing on the University of California and its ties to the military enterprise, but also examples of the larger military- industrial-academic complex. http://www.fiatpax.net/index.html Greenpece International. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/nuclear/ Mothers for Peace, in San Luis Obispo, is a non-profit organization concerned with the local dangers involving the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, and with the dangers of nuclear power, weapons and waste on national and global levels.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1 “Beyond Anxiety,” editorial, New York Times, June 13, 1982, E22. 2 For the purposes of simplicity, this book refers to the assemblage of actors engaged in various types of activism against nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and other related threats as the “anti-nuclear movement.” Although I detail individual movements within the larger whole, the existence of substantial cross-pollination among movement organizations and coalitions indicates that a more appropriate term is the singular. On the idea of a “movement of movements,” see Van Gosse, “A Movement of Movements: The Definition and Periodization of the New Left,” in A Companion to Post-1945 America, ed. Jean-Christophe Agnew and Roy Rosenzweig (Malden, MA: Blackwell, 2002), 277–302. 3 On this diversity, see Jo Freeman and Victoria Johnson, eds, Waves of Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 1999). See also Simon Hall, American Patriotism, American Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011). 4 See Fred Halliday, The Making of the Second Cold War (London: Verso, 1983). 5 On beginnings, see Lawrence S. Wittner, Toward Nuclear Abolition: A His- tory of the World Nuclear Disarmament Movement, 1971 to the Present (Stan- ford: Stanford University Press, 2003), Chapter 1. On the dwindling of the movement, see “Movement Gap,” editorial, Nation, 4 November 1991, 539–40. 6 The phrase “the challenge of peace” recalls the controversial pastoral letter issued in 1983 by the US National Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Ad Hoc Committee on War and Peace. Entitled “The Challenge of Peace: God’s Prom- ise and Our Response,” the letter attempted to define the Catholic Church’s opposition to the nuclear arms race.

    Co-production of Science and Regulation Radiation Health and the Linear No-Threshold Model Richard E. Tontodonato Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Science and Technology Studies Sonja D. Schmid Barbara L. Allen Rebecca J. Hester David C. Tomblin May 10, 2021 Falls Church, Virginia Keywords: Actor-Network Theory, Co-production, Dose-Effect Model, Imaginaries, Nuclear, Radiation, Regulation, Standards Co-production of Science and Regulation Radiation Health and the Linear No-Threshold Model Richard E. Tontodonato ABSTRACT The model used as the basis for regulation of human radiation exposures in the United States has been a source of controversy for decades because human health consequences have not been determined with statistically meaningful certainty for the dose levels allowed for radiation workers and the general public. This dissertation evaluates the evolution of the science and regulation of radiation health effects in the United States since the early 1900s using actor-network theory and the concept of co- production of science and social order. This approach elucidated the ordering instruments that operated at the nexus of the social and the natural in making institutions, identities, discourses, and representations, and the sociotechnical imaginaries animating the use of those instruments, that culminated in a regulatory system centered on the linear no-threshold dose-response model and the As Low As Reasonably Achievable philosophy. The science of radiation health effects evolved in parallel with the development of radiation-related technologies and the associated regulatory system.
