Crisis Communication: Facing the Challenges
Workshop Proceedings, Madrid, Spain, 9-10 May 2012
As manifested by an increasingly globalised media, a nuclear accident anywhere quickly
becomes a potential concern for people everywhere. It is therefore of prime importance
that nuclear regulators’ communication strategies take into consideration the expectations
and concerns of the public and provide sound information not only for the people of
the affected country, but also for citizens worldwide. Public trust is a key element
in being able to do so effectively and of particular importance when there are consequences
for people or the environment. International co-operation can play a fundamental role
in helping to improve crisis communication on national and global scales in the event
of a nuclear accident or radiological emergency. These proceedings contain the papers,
recommendations and conclusions of the workshop, which was attended by over 180 experts
from 27 countries and 6 international organisations.
