Radiation Workers and Risk Perceptions: Low Dose Radiation, Nuclear Power Production, and Small Modular Nuclear Reactors

Margot Hurlbert Larissa Shasko Jose Condor Dazawray Landrie-Parker

Abstrak

People’s affective response in relation to radiation is important in their risk perceptions of low-dose radiation (LDR), medical interventions involving LDR, and acceptance of nuclear power production. Risk perception studies generally relate to the health field of LDR or nuclear power. This study combines risk perceptions and acceptance of both. While acceptance by those with an understanding of radiation is demonstrated in focus groups, survey results disproved this correlation. Emotional response to the word radiation together with greater perceptions of risk to X-rays, were predictors of acceptance of nuclear power production.
