“…Meanwhile, apprehension or opposition often arises from ingrained worries related to safety, security, or nuclear waste storage. Post-Fukushima Japan exemplifies a mixed public sentiment with both residual anxieties and pragmatic acceptance [ 57 ]. Germany's planned nuclear phase-out reflects growing public skepticism of the technology [ 58 ].…”

“…If consumers find substandard seafood products, they will distrust related brands and companies, which can lead to the loss of consumers and damage the brand image. The consequences of unqualified seafood monitoring are extremely serious, and the nuclear safety of Fukushima nuclear wastewater must be correctly analyzed (Lam et al, 2022). Governments and companies monitor contaminated seafood through sampling, laboratory analysis, setting standards, establishing monitoring networks, conducting spot checks, and participating in international cooperation.…”

As wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear disaster continues to drain into the sea, the supply system for healthy seafood is being seriously challenged. To protect public health, it is necessary to restructure the seafood supply mode. The seafood supply mode is divided into the original mode, land farming mode, and strengthen monitoring mode. To derive the applicable scope of the various modes of the seafood supply chain and to provide recommendations for the safety and sustainability of seafood supply chains for governments and enterprises, three differential game models are constructed in this study. Then, the equilibrium results obtained by the models are compared and analyzed. Based on the findings, the health impact of seafood pollution is relatively small, and the government tends to choose the original supply mode. As the health impact of seafood grows, governments tend to prefer land-based farming. The social benefit to the government is directly proportional to the monitoring cost of seafood. To protect public health, enterprises tend to choose the mode of strengthen monitoring if the proportion of unqualified seafood is low. In addition, if sea products show a high degree of adaptation to the land environment, they tend to choose land farming.

“…In addition, due to the summary of the notification after the accident, lack of information on the safety status of nuclear facilities, and effluents, etc., the information value is low. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to build a unified information disclosure platform to solve the problems of public feedback [75].…”

How Social Impressions Affect Public Acceptance of Nuclear Energy: A Case Study in China

et al. 2022

Expanding the proportion of nuclear energy to shift the current energy structure and reduce carbon emission has been acknowledged by the China National Energy Administration. As a typical NIMBY facility, nuclear power plants are faced with a dilemma. Increasing the public acceptance of nuclear power is important for its development. Although multiple studies have shown the factors affecting the public acceptance, few of them focused on the effects of social impression brought about by nuclear power on public attitudes. In this study, a theoretical model was established to examine the impact of social impression (including impression management and stigmatization), knowledge, social trust, perceived risk, and perceived benefit on the public acceptance of nuclear energy. The data in this study were obtained through a questionnaire survey (N = 577) of residents near the Fangchenggang Nuclear Power Plant in China. The results showed that impression management did not directly affect the acceptance but had a positive effect on knowledge. Knowledge and perceived risk or perceived benefit play roles as chain intermediaries between impression management and public acceptance. Stigmatization negatively affects the social trust and public acceptance of nuclear energy. Social trust and perceived risk or perceived benefit act as chain intermediaries between stigmatization and public acceptance. The path “impression management affects knowledge, and knowledge affects perceived risk, then perceived risk finally affects public acceptance” is optimal among all the paths. Moreover, knowledge has no significant effect on public acceptance but negatively affects perceived risk. Social trust positively affects perceived benefit and public acceptance. It is also indicated that perceived benefit has a stronger effect on public acceptance than perceived risk. The findings in this study could inform the government regarding potential social management and recommendations on policy making.
