长期以来,核电一直是解决大型项目风险和争议的标志性背景——包括成本超支、管理失败、治理挑战和问责违规的趋势。很少有人关注为什么这些国家不顾这些有据可查的问题继续建设新的核电站。虽然其他分析倾向于在能源供应方面构建相关问题,但本文将探讨民用核基础设施如何在更广泛的“基础设施生态”中生存——包括表面上分散的民用和军用核部门的大型项目。密切关注英国的案例,我们展示了对大型项目的理解如何超越有限的部门和时间范围,包括超越通常的学术和政策孤岛的基础设施模式和节奏。通过阐明与军事相关的强大驱动因素调节英国民用核“基础设施节奏”,在这种背景下,关于“大型项目”的有限概念的关键问题出现了——例如,如何围绕一个似乎更深入、更广泛地整合在一起的“核综合体”计算成本。民用和军用核活动之间未经宣布的重大相互依赖关系对决策和更广泛的民主产生了重大影响。
Nuclear power has long offered an iconic context for addressing risk and controversy surrounding megaprojects – including trends towards cost overruns, management failures, governance challenges, and accountability breaches. Less attention has focused on reasons why countries continue new nuclear construction despite these well-documented problems. Whilst other analysis tends to frame associated issues in terms of energy provision, this paper will explore how civil nuclear infrastructures subsist within wider ‘infrastructure ecologies’ – encompassing ostensibly discrete megaprojects across both civil and military nuclear sectors. Attending closely to the UK case, we show how understandings of megaprojects can move beyond bounded sectoral and time horizons to include infrastructure patterns and rhythms that transcend the usual academic and policy silos. By illuminating strong military-related drivers modulating civil nuclear ‘infrastructure rhythms’ in the UK, key issues arise concerning bounded notions of a ‘megaproject’ in this context – for instance in how costs are calculated around what seems a far more deeply and broadly integrated ‘nuclear complex’. Major undeclared interdependencies between civilian and military nuclear activities raise significant implications for policymaking and wider democracy.
