Abstract

|
|
|
The Korean nuclear industry has been influenced by Fukushima nuclear accident of Japan which occurred twoyears ago. With information about the accident mainly through mass media such as television or internet, most people are inclined to have a negative perception about nuclear and radiation. They have lack of proper understanding of the fact.Especially, Korean students being future generation have a very limited chance to learn about nuclear and radiation from theirregular school curricula. To meet this need, the effectiveness of an extra curricula program is studied using a set of surveyon the change of knowledge and perception on radiation, which has been conducted by providing a radiation experiencingprogram, developed for this study, to high school students in Daejeon area. As a result, a large number of students are foundto have enhanced their knowledge on radiation, while some students have shown their positive change of perception onradiation. Based on this, further study may need to improve the survey method and to promote its application for thedevelopment of more diverse and systematic radiation experiencing programs. Moreover, better ways for synergy betweeneducation and public relations activities on radiation safety may need to be sought.
