Abstract
Abstract : In this chapter, we first present three families of theories of intergenerational justice. We then use this approach to address three sets of issues. How should we deal with radioactive waste, both on the physical disposal side and on the funding side ? Does intergenerational justice have anything to say about restricting our focus of analysis to two generations when it comes to assess the hereditary effects of radioactivity ? What should we think about adjusting general standards of radiological protection to those required for children ? Answers are provided on each of these three questions, from the perspective of intergenerational justice.
