为了确保国民接受核能，韩国必须确保能源安全。为了提高公众的接受度，需要考虑哪些因素更重要。在此背景下，本研究使用Kruskal-Wallis H检验分析了公众接受度的四个因素。国民接受度的分析和附加的定性框架表明，大部分韩国国民意识到核能的好处，但对核能的安全性持不情愿态度。大多数受访者不赞成将核反应堆建在自己住所附近，只有不到一半的人赞成建造更多的反应堆，这进一步凸显了这一点。因此，政府应该把重点放在支持核能的安全性上，并确保采取措施保护公众免受潜在核事故的伤害。
ABSTRACT To ensure that its citizens accept nuclear energy, it is important for Korea to secure energy security. To enhance public acceptance, consideration on which factors are more significant is required. In this context, this research analyzes four factors of public acceptance using the Kruskal–Wallis H test. The analysis and additional qualitative framework of public acceptance show that most of the Korean public is aware of the benefits of nuclear energy but are reluctant regarding the safety of nuclear energy. This is further highlighted by most of the respondents not approving the hosting of nuclear reactors in the proximity of their residence, and little less than a half approving of the building of more reactors. The government should therefore focus on endorsing the safety of the nuclear energy, and ensure measures to protect the public from potential nuclear accidents.
