On this edition of the HONEST podcast we explore the legacy of Chernobyl in terms of how it changed the relationship between nuclear energy and society in the context of Sweden, Italy, East Germany, Poland and the Soviet Union. Guests on this podcast include: Arne Kaijser, Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm Luigi Piccioni, University of Calabria Julie Ault, University of Utah Paul Josephson, Colby College

HoNESt partners have been developing short country reports on the national histories of nuclear energy and societies. These reports will be available on our website in early April.

In the meantime, a publication based on these reports was published. The brochure offers a comparative overview of the diverse national histories of nuclear energy and societies in 20 countries in Europe – North and South, East and West – and overseas.

HoNESt will be represented at the PIME "Communicating Nuclear" conference on the 20-21 March.

One of the most important ways to examine and understand the history of nuclear energy and society is to focus on key events that have shaped this relationship. Within each country case we can find specific events that had a lasting effect on how nuclear energy is viewed by the public, the government, and other significant actors. In this episode of the Honest Podcast we will learn about some of those events and how they would shape the perception and acceptance of nuclear energy.

At the HoNESt Consortium at Universitad Pompeu Fabra HoNESt researchers will discuss the preliminary country reports, comparing across more than 20 countries in an interdisciplinary perspective. We are looking forward to our Special Guest Ortwin Renn (Dialogik Stuttgart). Renn will give a guest lecture entitled "Driven by ambiguity: the changing images and perceptions of nuclear power over the last decades". The event is not open to the public. However, the programme can be consulted here.

Welcome to the HONEST Podcast, the program that brings you the sounds of a multiyear, multidisciplinary research project on how society looks at and has looked at nuclear energy since it appeared in different countries and across borders and how this relationship has changed or remained over time… with help from 23 research institutions and a long list of researchers some of which you will hear from during this program.
