This research proposal explores the link between public perceptions of nuclear power, how those perceptions are formed, and what influence those opinions have on energy policy. These issues are important in light of two realities. First, nuclear energy is declining in its share of global energy. Second, nuclear energy offers what might well be the best solution to climate change. Given the threat posed by climate change, it makes sense that nuclear power would be increasing in share, not decreasing. This Research proposal seeks to look at some of the issues facing nuclear power, and how it can overcome these issues to increase share going forward.

Note Comment from the professor:Komi: I want you to start working from the dissertation template. As we talked today, you have agreed that you will be focusing on a meta-analysis comparing studies on nuclear waste disposal. Be ready to follow this path in our upcoming course. Also for each of your hypothesis there needs to be an alternative or null hypothesis.Thanks Dr. A 50/50 Task Requirements 115/125 Content Construct a draft of 20-25 pages of the Chapter 2: Review of the Literature. You must incorporate your preliminary insights to your Problem Opportunity Statement, Purpose Statement, and Research Question(s)/Hypotheses found in Chapter 1. The References section for this should contain at least 40-50 journal articles. The document and References section must adhere to APA 6th-edition standards. 25/25 Academic Writing

Overview Comment by Owner: Komi, you will need to contact an editor before we can submit this for quality review.
Nuclear energy was first harnessed for power in 1954, at the Obninsk scientific city some 110km outside of Moscow (Josephenson, 2000, p.2). At the time, nuclear power was viewed as the energy of the future. Unharnessing the power of the atom, it was thought, was to provide a stable, reliable source of energy for the future. Even at the time, it was known that fossil fuels were not going to sustainable as an energy source. The use of atomic weapons at the end of the Second World War highlighted the value of harnessing the atom -- nuclear energy was essential in war, and to meet civilian energy needs. The most technologically advanced societies of that age, the U.S. and USSR, were the
