Report on research findings regarding the attitude of the population to nuclear energy

The study on public attitudes toward nuclear energy was conducted by the Info Sapiens agency at the request of the NGO “Ecodiya – Centre for Environmental Initiatives,” with the support of the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Kyiv Office – Ukraine, and Friends of the Earth Norway (Naturvernforbundet) – Ukraine, from October to December 2024. The aim of this research was to obtain objective and balanced data on the attitudes of the Ukrainian population toward nuclear energy and its role in Ukraine’s future recovery. In particular, the study sought to identify public attitudes toward the government’s current plans to build new nuclear power units, assess the level of public awareness about nuclear energy, and explore prevalent beliefs, myths, and fears related to this topic.
