  Offers a profound analysis of science and technology policymaking. By focusing on an episode of major importance in Britain's nuclear history - the Windscale Inquiry, a public hearing about the future of fuel reprocessing - this title offers a critique of such judicial procedures and the underlying assumptions of the rationalist approach.
