Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: A framework based on rhetorical features was used to analyze arguments about the future use of nuclear power to generate electricity within the U.N. Dialogues on Sustainable Energy Development. Since all the participants support the goal of sustainable development, the arguments about the use of nuclear power focused on whether or not nuclear power could be considered �sustainable� and whether or not the goal of extending access to electrical power justifies considering all power sources, including nuclear. Nearly opposite positions were taken by two groups: (1) the business community and some governments, who favored keeping nuclear options in the portfolio; and (2) trade unions and NGOs, who denounced nuclear power as unsustainable, along with fossil fuels and large hydropower facilities. Because of the opposition of interests and the polarized rhetoric, the rhetorical features that provide the most probable avenues for building agreement are the type of evidence used and worldview; specific examples are provided.
