"Chancen von Tschernobyl" : Ulrich Beckin riskikonsepti näkökulmana länsisaksalaiseen ydinvoimadebattiin 1986

2008

Työni käsittelee vuoden 1986 Tshernobylin ydinvoimalaonnettomuutta seurannutta, ydinvoiman hyväksyttävyyttä koskenutta keskustelua Länsi-Saksassa. Lähestymistapani mukaisesti hahmotan ydinvoimadebattia riski-ilmiön käsittelynä ja käsitteellistämisenä. Näkökulmani kiistan seuraamiseen on Ulrich Beckin Riskogesellschaft; Auf dem Weg in eine andere Moderne - teoksen näkökulma modernisaatioriskeistä poliittisiin ja taloudellisiin kerrannaisvaikutuksiin yltävinä, pitkälle tarkoittamattomina ilmiöinä. Aineiston tulkinnalla analysoin riskin poliittista arviointia ja käsitteellistämistä siitä lähtökohdasta, että uhkaava riski on merkitykseltään tyhjä ja vasta sen poliittinen ja kielellinen määrittä…

The hyperspectral and smartphone technology in CBRNE countermeasures and defence

2016

Caused by industrial and military use as well as other sources of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) materials, the global threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) remains in spite of such weapons being internationally prohibited. With these materials, industrial and transportation accidents are likely in all countries and can also be triggered by natural disasters, such as in Fukushima in 2011. In addition, governments cannot fully control the manufacturing and usage of WMDs, as extreme terrorists have access to as well as the knowledge and motivation to use such materials. Due to multiple large-scale risks, the countering of CBRNE threats requ…
