摘要

背景:在加拿大,工业界、政府和民间社会的参与者提出了小型模块化反应堆作为气候变化的技术解决方案。分析:对新不伦瑞克省主流报纸的内容进行定量和定性分析后发现,这些报纸的观点严重偏向于来自工业界和政府的观点。这些消息来源轻描淡写地强调了小型模块化反应堆的风险概况,否定了批评意见的合法性,并宣扬了与新自由资本主义和殖民主义的需要相联系的核现实主义项目。结论与影响:来自核工业和政府的支持核电的报道比例失调,阻碍了具有代表性的公共讨论。土著民族作为反公共团体,对技术官僚、殖民主义和新自由主义言论提出了挑战。

Canada’s Nuclear Colonialism: Capitalist Realism and the Neoliberal Public Sphere
Background: In Canada, actors in industry, government, and civil society have proposed small modular reactors as a technological solution to climate change. Analysis: A quantitative and qualitative content analysis of New Brunswick’s mainstream newspapers indicates a profound bias in favour of perspectives drawn from actors in industry and government. The sources underemphasize the risk profile of small modular reactors, delegitimize criticism, and promote a nuclear realist project tied to the imperatives of neoliberal capitalism and colonialism. Conclusions and implications: Disproportionate coverage of pro-nuclear sources from industry and government thwarts representative public deliberation. Indigenous nations, acting as counterpublics, challenge technocratic, colonial, and neoliberal discourse.
