Stakeholder A stakeholder is anybody with
an interest (a ‘stake’) in a problem and its
solution. The involvement of stakeholders
(i.e., parties who have interests in and
concern about a situation) is seen as an
important input to the optimization
process. It is a proven means to achieve
incorporation of values into the decisionmaking process, improvement of the
substantive quality of decisions, resolution
of conflicts among competing interests,
building of shared understanding with
both workers and the public, and building
of trust in institutions. Furthermore,
involving all concerned parties reinforces
the safety culture, and introduces the
necessary flexibility in the management of
the radiological risk that is necessary to
achieve more effective and sustainable
decisions.
