Disaster response

Public attitudes towards nuclear energy tend to be dominated by safety considerations. This led to a substantial research effort to investigate the possible role of risk perception as a possible antecedent of the limited public acceptability of nuclear energy and has also been studied in the context of nuclear accidents. Another research area of relevance to the study of public reactions to nuclear accidents is concerned with the role of decision style and coping with uncertainty. These issues have been investigated in the context of the accident at Three Mile Island and other environmental hazards. This report presents data related to decision style and coping with uncertainty. Public attitudes towards nuclear energy have been extensively studied since the mid-1970's. Accidents like that at Chernobyl do have important consequences for public policy. Chernobyl has provided lessons for both risk management and risk communication
