Policymakers and stakeholders' perceptions of science-driven nuclear energy policy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study surveyed 137 policymakers and key stakeholders (e.g., employees of government agencies,academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, industry, and advocacy groups) involved in making decisionson nuclear energy policy, investigating how they differentially perceived the importance of scientificevidence in driving nuclear policy.We also identified the policy areas that each group of decisionmakersare mostly concerned about and showed how such concerns might contextualize and ultimatelyshape their perceptions of science-driven policy
