Description

According to a public opinion research for Canadians on the use of nuclear energy, it was reported that more than half of Ontarians supported the nuclear energy even after the Fukushima accident. Municipalities in Ontario are also candidates for final repository sites of low and intermediate level radioactive waste and spent fuel. In this study, we interviewed Canadians, mainly Ontarians, considered the background factors on why Ontarian support the use of nuclear energy, and extracted six factors. (author)

Abstract (Japanese)

カナダ人の原子力エネルギー利用に関する意識調査によれば,オンタリオ州民だけはその半数以上が福島事故以降も原子力エネルギー利用を支持していることが示された.また,中低レベル放射性廃棄物や使用済み燃料の最終処分においてもオンタリオ州の自治体がその候補地となっている.本研究では,オンタリオ州民を中心にカナダ人への非構造化インタビューを行い,オンタリオ州民がエネルギー利用を支持する背景要因について考察を行い,6つの要因を抽出した.(著者)
