The purpose of this article is to identify an issue that a series of "social amplification of risk framework" studies have not focused on. For this purpose, the article discusses the following points: (1) four key concepts derived from Yucca Mountain site problem that led to the notion of "social amplification", namely, risk experience, information channels, amplification mechanisms and stigma, (2) how the "social amplification of risk framework" explains risk phenomena, (3) typical empirical studies based upon this framework, and (4) an issue those typical studies have failed to touch upon. In conclusion I emphasize how important to address this issue.
