Abstract

Our research aims to analyze how the current energy crisis caused a change in our assessment of nuclear power development. 629 participants responded to a questionnaire before and after the energy crisis (2021 n=371; 2022 n=258). ANOVAs showed a significant shift toward higher perceived benefits, higher acceptance, and lower risks.
