KREIRANJE NUKLEARNE SVESTI
THE CREATION OF NUCLEAR CONSCIOUSNESS

Summary/Abstract: The development of nuclear policy in Yugoslavia was burdened with overlapping jurisdictions, which were shifting from one institution to another, many of which hastily created and quickly disappearing. Lawmaking in the area of radiation protection was in the process of constant renewal and change, but this did not affect the incompleteness of norms and regulations. Yugoslav Radiation Protection Association failed to constitute itself for many years, but has won itself a say in lawmaking process. The association was facing megalomania in nuclear energy policy of state leadership, frequently steered by the individuals from institutes for development of the nuclear program. The ignorance of wider public, which had no awareness about the risks of usage of technology of radiation, was one of the obstacles in the development of nuclear policy which was ignored by the politicians.
