Title of the thesis
Building the robustness of unpredictable risk governance: nuclear safety against seismic risk
Summary of the thesis
This thesis aims to understand how the evolutions appeared in the seismic risk assessment for the nuclear power plant after the accident of Fukushima Daiichi are part of a long time process. To do so, we use a sociohistorical analysis to highlight the anchoring of recent evolutions in pre-existing dynamics. Risk assessment will be considered here as a process in which scientific and technical issues hybridize with economics and socials issues in the context of a decision-making process (Boudia, 2008). Thus, I will considering the risk assessment, not as an autonomous and analyzable phenomenon as such, but as an object entangled in a complex chaining, starting from the scientific knowledge of a phenomenon, to its material application on industrial installations.
