概要 （英文）

This report shows how different risk perceptions and viewpoints of science and technology between the public and experts are, and examines the extent of and the reasons for the differences in risk perceptions between the 1999 and 2009 surveys toward nuclear power generation and genetically modified foods.Questionnaire surveys were conducted for the general public and academic professionals in biotechnology, nuclear energy technology, and nanotechnology. Nuclear experts exhibited yet lower risk perceptions toward nuclear power generation than did the general public and biotechnology experts, but the differences were small compared to 1999. However, nuclear experts infer that the public's risk perception of nuclear power station is quite different from theirselves as yet. The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plat might chage both risk perception of lay people and academic professionals, because they answered how national government or electric power companies manage the risk, and whether experts can control to environmental impacts as lower as possible are seriously considered when they evaluate nuclaer power technology.
