\nAlongside the production of intermediate or final goods, industrial processes necessarily generate by-products. Recovering and recycling these by-products is one of the economic concerns of industrialists, just as it is part of their environmental responsibility to neutralise their harmful nature and dispose of any waste that cannot be recovered in landfill sites. Neutralising the toxicity of this waste is not always an easy task, and this concern applies both to non-recoverable production residues and to the very facilities that produced them when they are obsolete and so impregnated that they cannot be completely cleaned.
\nOn all these points, the nuclear power industry is no exception. In Europe, around a hundred nuclear reactors are currently shut down. Dismantling them will generate large volumes of materials, some of them radioactive. The largest volumes will be very low-level waste (VLLW). The management of these dismantling products is therefore a major challenge, creating pressure on the recovery channels for these materials and on the capacity of storage facilities for those classified in the institutional category of final VLLW waste.
\nThe project proposes to examine the role of information in the categorisation and management of this waste: how is information on dismantling waste, which is by its very nature extremely diverse, currently produced, circulated, used, understood or contested? How is waste measured, qualified, standardised, given value and practised by the various players in the dismantling sector?\n\tObjectives<\/strong>
\n- To analyse the historical and current circumstances surrounding the production and circulation of information on waste, adopting a \u00abbottom-up\u00bb perspective (creation of reference systems, practical and theoretical knowledge).
\n- Identify the way in which information structures collectives and intervenes in controversies about waste, by following waste and the information that accompanies it from the dismantled site to the general public.
\n- To examine the implications of forms of information for the development of management sectors.\nTo meet these objectives, the METROPOLITIN project is interdisciplinary and combines three methodological approaches:
\n- Sociotechnical analysis of measurement, its uses and the controversies it provokes (\u00abpolitical metrology\u00bb); ;
\n- Comparison of the management of TFA waste with other industrial waste streams (in particular incineration bottom ash) and in different national contexts (France, Sweden, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy); ;
\n- An ethnographic approach to tracking both the waste and the information produced and discussed about it throughout the dismantling of nuclear facilities.\n\tCourse<\/strong>
\nThe project will run for 48 months from January 2018 and combines radioactivity metrology, sociology, history, geography and Science and Technology Studies. It includes field surveys in France (notably at the CEA) and in four foreign countries (Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and Sweden). In particular, LAMES is contributing to the study of the situation in Italy and to the ethnography in France of dismantling operations and the transport of waste from these operations to final disposal sites.\n\t
