With the widespread recognition of the lack of indigenous energy supplies, there continues to be a general agreement that nuclear energy is necessary and will increase in importance as an energy source for Korea. In spite of that, we are faced with the difficulties of opening new sites and siting new units beside reactors on the existing sites. It is of no use to say that enhancing public understanding could be a prerequisite for implementing the related policies as well as nuclear energy supplies. This paper examines the relationships among the responses identified in opinion polls and tries to predict how attitudes could be changed.
