The main scope of this report is examining the textual features with which discourses are produced, reproduced and maintained – in this case within the field of Norwegian nuclear politics.  
Through the analysis of central texts from the non-governmental organisation Bellona, as well as the government agency Statens strålevern and Norwegian political authorities, different discourses appear: On one hand a moderate, reassuring discourse, on the other a discourse of crisis and urgency. The analysis shows the latter to be the more obvious and ‘powerful’ discourse in Norwegian nuclear politics. The closing chapter contains a discussion of consequences of discursive domination, be these democratic or political consequences, and concludes that the possible relationship between language and politics deserves attention and further investigation.
