The utility of decision-making tools for the risk governance of nanotechnology is at the core of this paper. Those working in nanotechnology risk management have been prolific in creating such tools, many derived from European FP7 and H2020-funded projects. What is less clear is how such tools might assist the overarching ambition of creating a fair system of risk governance. In this paper, we reflect upon the role that tools might and should play in any system of risk governance. With many tools designed for the risk governance of this emerging technology falling into disuse, this paper provides an overview of extant tools and addresses their potential shortcomings. We also posit the need for a data readiness tool. With the EUs NMP13 family of research consortia about to report to the Commission on ways forward in terms of risk governance of this domain, this is a timely intervention on an important element of any risk governance system.
决策工具在纳米技术风险治理中的效用是本文的核心。从事纳米技术风险管理的人员在创建此类工具方面成果丰硕，其中许多工具源自欧洲第七框架计划（FP7）和“地平线2020”（H2020）资助的项目。然而，尚不清楚的是，此类工具如何助力实现创建公平风险治理体系这一总体目标。在本文中，我们思考了工具在任何风险治理体系中可能且应该发挥的作用。鉴于许多为这种新兴技术的风险治理而设计的工具已被弃用，本文概述了现有工具并探讨了它们可能存在的缺点。我们还提出了对数据准备工具的需求。鉴于欧盟NMP13系列研究联盟即将就该领域风险治理的未来方向向委员会提交报告，这是对任何风险治理体系的一个重要元素的及时干预。
