“…This reinforces the need for a combination of the social science account of energy (policy) with its natural science counterpart (energy systems and chains) (Heffron & McCauley, ; Hoggett et al, ; Jenkins, Heffron, & McCauley, ). Both employing and challenging the tripartite model of energy justice—distributional, procedural, and recognition justice (Jenkins et al, ; McCauley, Heffron, Stephan, & Jenkins, )—we form our argument using the case study of multinational nuclear waste repositories, where geographically isolated countries are connected by a shared concern for governing risks emanating from nuclear waste, and where the fundamental question of justice such repositories could create are particularly pertinent considering their multinational and intergenerational hazards (Drottz‐Sjöberg, ; Ylönen & Litmanen, ).
