원자력 발전소에 대한 신뢰, 인식된 위험과 혜택, 그리고 수용성

초록

This study investigated the factors influencing the local acceptance of nuclear power plant. For this, a structural equation model(SEM) explaining the causal relationships among trust, perceived risk, perceived benefit, and acceptance was tested. The data was obtained through a survey of residents in 4 nuclear power plant sites. The results indicated that the proposed model fit the data very well. Trust in nuclear power plant had a positive direct effect on acceptance and indirect effects through perceived benefit and perceived risk. Further, perceived benefit and perceived risk had significant effects on acceptance. The policy implications of the results were also discussed.
