Abstract
how has the art of governing highly radioactive waste, as it has evolved over the last two decades, redefined the socio-technical challenges of the highly radioactive waste management programme and vice versa? That is the question which underlies that view. Combining government analytics (Dean 2010) with a strong co-productionist approach (Joly 2015), three regimes of government practices in France, Belgium and Canada are screened and compared. This paper proposes to follow the subject, in five chapters, from its definition (through classification systems) to the preparation, territorial implementation and regular evaluation of its management programme. Moving forward, we seek to understand how geological deposition remained the key reference option for the highly radioactive waste category. Various co-productions will be updated, revealing the asymmetry of power between the actors, the continuous trajectory (dis) of the programme and the experimental nature of the art to govern highly radioactive waste. An experimental art, which we argue may vary, among other things, depending on the attitude of the experimentators.
