Managing Nuclear Risk in the Age of Disinformation
I
23:20Ian Fleming ZhouHOST
what this means is that disinformation is not just a peripheral irritant to nuclear governance it is structurally embedded in the highest risk scenarios you cannot separate the information environment from the risk environment they are the same environment let me ask you this What helped you actually analyze that? And why did the Open Nuclear Network take a cross-sectoral approach rather than staying within nuclear case studies?
V
23:53Valeria HesseGUEST
So one of the key insights from our work is that radiological nuclear disinformation does not really behave differently from disinformation in other domains.
V
24:09Valeria HesseGUEST
That matters because it means nuclear stakeholders are exposed to the same influence mechanisms.
V
24:17Valeria HesseGUEST
And cross-sectoral approach means that we deliberately step outside of this nuclear silo.
V
24:23Valeria HesseGUEST
And instead of analyzing RN disinformation only through the cases of radiological and nuclear disinformation, we also asked a more fundamental question.
V
24:33Valeria HesseGUEST
How does disinformation work as a phenomenon? What does that mean to the radiological and nuclear domain? So we drew on psychology, media studies, political marketing, strategic communication, and information technologies.

So what can your approach tell us about how disinformation affects such settings? Are multilateral institutions structurally equipped to respond?
