Good Acceptance: Public Opinion about Nuclear Energy in Slovenia

摘要

Comparison of the results with previous years shows stable and steadily improving public acceptance of nuclear energy in Slovenia. The following conclusions can be obtained: 1. Cleanliness of nuclear power is not well understood and should be stressed in information activities 2. Radioactive waste is still considered as a major problem of our industry and is even gaining on importance. 3. Percentage of people believing that NPP Krsko should operate until the end of its lifetime is high and steady. 4. For the first time we have determined, that almost 8 % of people would accept a new nuclear power plant in the country. 5. No correlation between social environment and understanding of nuclear energy could be found. But, relatively favourable public acceptance can change over night. Therefore a permanent information activity is essential.
