Nuclear power, climate change and energy security: Exploring British public attitudes (2011, background): “Nuclear accidents have, through processes of ‘social amplification’ (Pidgeon et al., 2003), contributed to nuclear power becoming a highly stigmatised energy technology (Flynn, 2003).”

Understanding 'local' opposition to wind development in the UK: How big is a backyard? (2010, background): “…impact from wind turbines tends to become minimal at short distances (i.e. 5–7 km); anticipated impact is likely to be less restricted by physical reality and hence more open to speculation, myth-propagation, and social or media amplification (see Pidgeon et al., 2003; see also Braunholtz, 2003).”
