ALAIN MICHEL

Alain Michel, a consultant specialising in communication on socio-political issues which have technical backgrounds, has concentrated his research and publications in the last ten years on how public opinion of nuclear activities is affected by emotional influences such as dramatic fiction stories on television, in films and books or the "green" movement’s spectacular demonstrations. He has an engineering education and worked for more than 40 years for Belgonucleaire. His work there ranged from plutonium fuel design and testing to media and public relations. Since 1986, he has been a published author of European socio-political studies as well as fiction novels.
