| Sumario: | From Formal Expertise to Co-expertise : Experience in the field
of Protection against Radiation
As a result of the growing difficulties confronting the heads of public and private
high-risk activities, expertise practices have changed radically over the past years in the
areas of risk assessment and management. In answer to the erosion of the credibility and
legitimacy of traditional “scientific” expertise, new forms of expertise based on citizen
participation have emerged, particularly in fields involving public trust. The author’s aim
is to analyse the main changes in the field of radiological protection, on the basis of his
25 years of experience in the field. In conclusion, the author discusses the independence
of expert assessment, an issue central to the present debate on the organization and
practice of expertise in the field of high-risk activities. |
