在这项研究中，我们开发了一种新的补偿控制措施，以更好地理解补偿控制理论（CCT）如何影响政府参与环境问题的看法：乏核燃料的储存。通过一项全国调查，本研究通过创建四种代偿性控制的替代措施，调查了公众对核废料储存、其风险和潜在监督形式的意见。这些措施用于回归分析，以了解参与和干预核废料储存设施选址的程度。结果表明，对这些措施的支持褒贬不一，而且与政策选择有明显的联系。
In this study, we develop a novel measure of compensatory control to better understand how Compensatory Control Theory (CCT) impacts perceptions of government involvement in an environmental issue: the storage of spent nuclear fuel. Using a national survey, this study examines public opinion on nuclear waste storage, its risks, and potential forms of oversight, by creating four proxy measures of compensatory control. Those measures are used in a regression analysis to understand levels of participation and intervention in the siting of nuclear waste storage facilities. Results indicate mixed support for the measures and a clear connection to policy choices.
