title = "Public acceptability of nuclear technology",
abstract = "Public acceptability has become recognised as an indispensable prerequisite for technological development in democratic societies. Nuclear technology is not an exception in this regard, quite the contrary. This chapter starts by sketching a historical overview of the rise of the need for public acceptability with regard to nuclear developments, continues by outlining the main focus and outcomes of contemporary research accompanying this evolution, then explains why the subject continues to demand attention by unravelling the complexity of public acceptability and the nuclear fuel cycle, and ends with some reflections that may guide the future treatment of the topic.",
