Risk Management/Perception
Joint LC/CoC ROP
"The transportation
of nuclear waste through Lincoln County and the City of Caliente
will be attended by a certain degree of risk of exposure.
Although scientific estimates of risk may be quite low and well
below levels of risk typically accepted on a voluntary basis, area
residents may perceive risks to be much greater. Failure on
the part of federal, state and local emergency managers to implement
effective hazard management techniques may exacerbate public
perceptions of risk. Uncertainty of public reaction to
incidents and accidents involving radioactive wastes may render
ineffective local emergency response plans. The County and
City have sponsored several assessments to better understand both
risk characteristics and options for risk management."
