Description
According to a research paper recently presented by the same authors, it has been demonstrated that approximately 50% of the information that reaches the public through the media communication is correct. The remaining 50% corresponds to information that is not within the standards accepted by the scientific community and could be considered either incorrect or erroneous, or information that induces the reader towards a line of thought that could be assumed biased. He This work focuses on 50% of the information that could be improved in order to increase considerably the percentage of the correct information which will possibly impact the public perception of nuclear issues linked to their peaceful uses. One will be made comparison between the calculated risks, associated with some practices, which we will call cases, and the perception of risk of the society before these same activities relieved through surveys and / or interviews Articles extracted from the public media on the subject will be analyzed of the cases addressed with the objective of quantifying the classification of that information as correct, erroneous or biased and project its influence on public perception. The work presents an assessment between public perception and the calculated risks associated with the same typology of cases
