Intergenerational Risks of Nuclear Energy [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Nuclear energy is one of the clearest examples of a technology that brings about risks beyond generational borders. These risks emanate particularly from nuclear waste that needs to be isolated from the biosphere for very long periods of time. Principles of intergenerational equity currently underlie waste management policies, arguing that we should not impose undue burdens on future generations. This chapter scrutinizes the way in which such intergenerational equity principles deal with the issue of long-term risks.
