This research proposal explores the link between public perceptions of nuclear power, how those perceptions are formed, and what influence those opinions have on energy policy. These issues are important in light of two realities. First, nuclear energy is declining in its share of global energy. Second, nuclear energy offers what might well be the best solution to climate change. Given the threat posed by climate change, it makes sense that nuclear power would be increasing in share, not decreasing. This Research proposal seeks to look at some of the issues facing nuclear power, and how it can overcome these issues to increase share going forward.

Note Comment from the professor:Komi: I want you to start working from the dissertation template. As we talked today, you have agreed that you will be focusing on a meta-analysis comparing studies on nuclear waste disposal. Be ready to follow this path in our upcoming course. Also for each of your hypothesis there needs to be an alternative or null hypothesis.Thanks Dr. A 50/50 Task Requirements 115/125 Content Construct.....
