Science Democratised = Expertise Decommissioned [PDF]
Spontaneous Generations: A Journal for the History and Philosophy of Science, 2007 Science and expertise have been antithetical forms of knowledge in both the ancient and the modern world, but they appear identical in today’s postmodern world, especially in Science & Technology Studies (STS) literature. The ancient Athenians associated science (epistemé) with the contemplative life afforded to those who lived from inherited wealth ...

Comparative analysis of occupational radiation doses when decommissioning nuclear power plants
Energy Science & Engineering, 2022 Kori 1, the first commercial reactor in Korea, was permanently shut down in 2017 and is preparing for decommissioning in the mid‐2020s. Although Kori 1 is shut down, some radiation sources remain in the system; as such, the dismantling workers are ...
