That’s a good question. Nuclear hazards certainly need to be handled in a specific way, with specific regulations in mind, but everything we do carries a certain risk with it.
We spend a lot of time in the nuclear industry analysing the risks and consequences of all the operations carried out on site, in order to minimise the likelihood of an accident. All areas of science come with their own risks, so I think at the end of the day I don’t see nuclear sites as being any more dangerous than other industrial sites.
