Disposal of Radioactive Wastes

Almost all major nuclear operations produce residues containing radioactive materials; in reactor operations, for example, the fission products, new elements (such as plutonium) produced by neutron irradiation and the unfissioned nuclear fuel are all radioactive. Some of this material can be put to further use: useful radioisotopes, for instance, can be extracted from the fission products and p...

Disgust disposal effect 1 Running head: DISGUST PROMOTES DISPOSAL Disgust Promotes Disposal: Souring the Status Quo

Humans naturally dispose of objects that disgust them. Is this phenomenon so deeply embedded that even incidental disgust – i.e., where the source of disgust is unrelated to a possessed object – triggers disposal? Two experiments were designed to answer this question. Two film clips served as disgust and neutral primes; the objects were routine commodities (boxes of office supplies). Results re...

Disposal of Radioactive Waste

Perhaps the most important single problem arising from the increasing use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes is how to dispose of the growing amounts of radioactive waste. Many of its complex aspects were discussed at the scientific conference on the disposal of radioactive waste held by IAEA in Monaco from 16 to 21 November 1959. The conference was organized jointly with UNESCO, with the c...

Disgust disposal effect 1 Running head : DISGUST PROMOTES DISPOSAL

We propose that incidental disgust (i.e. disgust triggered by a factor unrelated to the decision at hand) can influence the choice between two commodities, even when decision makers are unaware of the influence. Two experiments tested the hypothesis that decision makers exposed to an incidental disgust prime (as opposed to a neutral prime) would be more likely to dispose of a status-quo object ...
