Informing the Public About Nuclear in Slovenia

Abstract

Slovenia has experienced a dynamic history of nuclear public acceptance. In the previous social system there was no free press and therefore there was simply no opportunity for the anti nuclear movement. During the transition into the democratic society nuclear energy was used as one of the major platform for several political parties and public opinion about that type of energy production was at its low. After several years of fruitless anticampaign the general public seems to realize how unjustified is the fear and gives much less attention to this issue. In the mean time we, nuclear professionals, are working on the long-term public information.
