---

This David and Goliath story chronicles and analyzes how a small, under-funded public interest group-Durham Nuclear Awareness of Oshawa, Ontario-mobilized opposition to the December 1994 re-licensing of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. Michael D. Mehta explores the struggle between Durham Nuclear Awareness and Canada's nuclear establishment to illustrate how risk as a concept can be used to understand contemporary political conflicts.
