Special Eurobarometer 297: Attitudes towards radioactive waste
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
