1. What do you think about nuclear energy? An opinion poll among Czech students January 2004 Marie Dufkova, Czech Power Company CEZ

2. What do you think about the connection between the standard of living and energy consumption ? if we want to improve the standard of living, the energy consumption must inevitably increase standard of living can improve without increasing energy consumption if we want to reduce energy consumption, the standard of living must inevitably drop

3. Which energy source is the final solution to the energy demand of humankind? Sun, wind, sea nuclear energy - fission and fusion fossil fuels

4. What do you think about nuclear power industry in the Czech Republic? its share should decrease its share should increase its share should remain the same

5. What is the main advantage of nuclear energy? it does not produce any greenhouse gasses that cause global warming raw materials for nuclear fuel are relatively abundant coal and petroleum are too precious raw materials to be combusted unnecessarily

6. What is the main disadvantage of the nuclear power industry? risk of accident large investments nuclear waste

7. Arguments of nuclear opponents: are justified are not justified cannot be overlooked

8. Humankind should prioritise energy sources which: generate minimum pollution ensure the longest possible production of energy generate the most cost-effective energy

9. What is the most serious risk for the future of humanity? global warming lack of energy sources growing population

10. Which three environmental changes do you regard as the most serious issues? radioactive contamination resulting from nuclear power plant accident damaged ozone layer acid rains climatic changes sea pollution shrinkage of virgin nature spreading of deserts

11. Do you know why and how the Chernobyl accident occurred? as a result of technology failure I don´t know a series of subsequent mistakes on the part of the servicing personnel

12. Are you afraid that there could be a nuclear accident in the Czech Republic? yes probably not no probably yes

13. Which of the following substances does not contain natural radioactivity? coal human body drinkable water radon meat at a slaughterhouse no answer

14. Which of the following options exposes us to the strongest dosage of ionising radiation? single X-ray examination 1-year sojourn in the proximity of a nuclear power plant 1-year sojourn in a building made of concrete 5-hour airplane flight at 10 000 metres

15. When choosing an electricity supplier, you prefer someone who: supplies the cheapest electricity does not supply electricity generated by nuclear power plants ensures reliable supply without dropouts

16. Comparing the results of the 2003 and 1993 opinion polls  1992-3, JAERI opinion poll, 1030 students aged 15 – 18, Czechoslovakia  2003, ČEZ opinion poll, 2000 students aged 13 – 18, Czech Republic

17. comparing the results “connection between the standard of living and energy consumption“

18. comparing the results “Which type of energy source has the strongest future potential?“

19. comparing the results “share of nuclear energy industry in the Czech Republic“

20. comparing the results “advantages of nuclear energy - - why it should be developed“

21. comparing the results “disadvantages of nuclear energy – why be against it?“

22. comparing the results “the most significant environmental changes“

23. comparing the results “Which source exposes us to the strongest radiation?“
