Saskatchewan residents are generally supportive of nuclear research and technology, including uranium mining and nuclear power.
That is according to results from The Saskatchewan Nuclear Attitudes Study released by the Nuclear Policy Research Initiative at the University of Saskatchewan.
The findings released today are part of the first two policy briefs.
They include an overview of attitudes related to the nuclear energy sector.
There is also a summary of attitudes related to nuclear medicine, uranium mining and nuclear waste management.
Two briefs on people’s values and knowledge related to nuclear issues, and another on the perception of trust in decision makers, will be released on Wednesday.
