It is a major challenge to manage and dispose of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) safely and reliably without imposing adverse effects on human health or the environment. Building societal consensus on HLW issues has been impeded to date by people’s antagonistic attitude to the issues, which is often referred to as the “NIMBY syndrome.” To address NIMBY-related issues around HLW, active citizen participation in a societal consensus-building process designed to ensure both procedural and distributive fairness is essential. In addition, cooperative behavior in social dilemmas is necessary to encourage citizens to engage in constructive discussion and elaboration about the issues. It is likely that citizens concerned in this way are not necessarily just opposing the plans, but that they are following their own particular agenda and consider it ethical to claim that “No burden should be left behind for future generations.” This paper addresses the major elements (i.e., importance of procedural and distributive fairness, necessity of citizen’s

cooperative behavior based on altruism) that need to be taken into account in carrying out the process

towards building societal consensus concerning the HLW issues. The paper focuses on the role of the citizen and highlights the importance of their active participation in this process.
