Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter will describe the history of nuclear weapons/power in Canada and then move on to how nuclear waste is being managed. This management involves overall aims and objectives and the implementation of these aims and objectives. However, it is important to see these processes as distinct as there is always contingency and slippage between governance aims and objectives and place-based implementation. This is because governance is never a straight-forward process or cycle of conceiving, planning, and implementing, but a far more iterative and recursive process ( Cotton 2017 ). Also, as Bickerstaff (2012) argues, whenever a government, as in the United Kingdom or Canada, conceives a shiny new plan, there is an implicit exorcism of the sins and mistakes of the past and an attempt to present a new beginning, or baseline. This is an aspect of forgetting and presenteeism this book has encountered again and again: however, in peripheralised communities, history and remembering are fundamental to identity and acts of agency and power.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
