Abstract - The opening of the expertise on the small doses of ionizing radiations. People who lived near nuclear installations have very contrasted points of view about the impact of low doses of ionizing radiations. Through the expertise implemented by the "Groupe radioécologie Nord-Cotentin", we examine the usual opposition done between the specialists and the "laymen" about the assessment of risks. From this situation, we analyse the necessary conditions for constructing a pluralist and credible expertise.


Résumé - Les riverains de sites nucléaires oscillent entre des positions très contrastées au sujet de l'impact des faibles doses de rayonnements ionisants. L'expertise conduite par le Groupe radioécologie Nord-Cotentin nous permet d'interroger la coupure établie entre spécialistes et "profanes" dans l'évaluation des risques. Apparaissent ainsi les conditions nécessaires pour bâtir une expertise pluraliste et crédible.


Key words: Experts, laymen, Sociology, low doses of ionizing radiations, collective risks

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
