Abstract

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.
辐射工作人员和风险认知:低剂量辐射、核能生产和小型模块化核反应堆
人们对辐射的情感反应在他们对低剂量辐射(LDR)的风险认知、涉及低剂量辐射的医疗干预以及对核能生产的接受程度方面具有重要意义。风险认知研究一般涉及低核聚变或核电的健康领域。这项研究结合了风险认知和对两者的接受程度。虽然在焦点小组中证明了那些了解辐射的人的接受程度,但调查结果反驳了这种相关性。对“辐射”一词的情绪反应,以及对x射线风险的更大认知,预示着人们对核电的接受程度。
