Description
The Directorate-General for Energy and Transport launched this Eurobarometer survey. It was carried out by TNS Opinion & Social network between 18 February and 22 March 2008.
The study covers the following topics:
- Citizens’ attitudes towards nuclear energy and radioactive waste in particular
- Their wish for involvement in decision-making about managing radioactive waste
- The role of the EU in managing radioactive waste
- How informed citizens feel about radioactive waste
- Their objective knowledge of radioactive waste and ways of managing radioactive waste
- Trusted sources of information about radioactive waste
To gain a deeper insight in the publics’ opinion regarding radioactive waste, the following key variables have been used while analysing the different questions:
- Respondents’ support for nuclear energy production: QB2 Are you totally in favour, fairly in favour, fairly opposed or totally opposed to energy production by nuclear power stations?
- Their self-perceived level of information about radioactive waste: QB1
How well informed do you think you are about radioactive waste? Very well informed, fairly well informed, not very well informed or not at all informed
The results by volumes are distributed as follows:
- Volume A: Countries
- Volume AA: Groups of countries
- Volume A' (AP): Trends
- Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
- Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
- Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
- Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
