3. It is of course possible for an historian to notice and try to explain the lack of different voices in history. The best example from SandTS is perhaps the studies trying to explain the lack of women in science and technology. This topic has also been discussed explicitly by Pinch and Bijker (1984) when developing the Social Construction of Technology (SCOT) approach, see Bijker 1995: 48f and Pinch 1996: 31f.
4. The interpretative flexibility of the fission by-products has never diminished. Waste vs. resource is still a contested part of the future of nuclear power. This discussion is about reprocessing, breeder reactors and transmutation. In Sweden, however, since the beginning of the 1980s the interpretation, and therefore nuclear waste management, is based on the definition that all spent fuel is nuclear waste. See later sections of this chapter.
