MODEL DJELOVANJA JAVNOG PODUZEĆA ZA POHRANU NUKLEARNOG OTPADA
A MODEL OF A PUBLIC ENTERPRISE FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the major sociological characteristics which have to be established, so that an agency for dealing with hazardous materials can function in Croatia. The paper is based on a research project realized in the Institute for Applied Social Research in Zagreb and represents the first phase of a broader project on nuclear waste. The authors emphasize that the agency must be placed at equal distance from the three main subjects in society - the state, the public and the pollutors. The major frame of reference emphasized by the authors within which the agency should be functioning is concern for the environment combined with an unbiased global position of the agency. The authors discuss 5 major features of the agency - (1) the institutional position of the agency, (2) the competence of the agency, (3) the position of the agency in the public, (4) the composition of the team of experts needed for running the agency, and (5) the global ecological philosophy of the agency.
