The impact of misinformation is not entirely known, but there are plenty of recent examples of how misinformation can inform opinion for large numbers of the public. The doctrine by which disasters will shape opinions is not dissimilar to the idea of the shock doctrine, wherein a major shock allows for a change in public consciousness (Klein, 2007)
The qualitative content analysis for this study will utilize secondary data explored peer-reviewed literature that was published in the United Kingdom and the United States between 2007 and 2015. Since the values and beliefs of the authors of peer-reviewed journal articles were taken into consideration, a qualitative research methodology was suitable for this research (Krippendorff, 2012)
When conducting this qualitative study, the researcher will utilize content analysis, which implies that the research is a qualitative content analysis. Content analysis research methodologies usually involve the use of a systematic analysis of the contents of gathered data and inductive strategies geared towards the creation of patterns and themes (Leedy & Ormrod, 2005)

American perceptions of climate change have followed this somewhat predictable trend. Public support for policies to deal with climate change "will be greatly influenced by public perceptions of the risks and dangers posed by climate change" (Leiserowitz, 2005, p
According to Krippendorf (2004), data collection in qualitative content analysis starts with bridging the gap between articles selected for the study and an analyzable representation of these materials. The third step in the process is working out the material through and deducing categories from this material that relates to the phenomenon being examined (Mayring, 2000)
The contexts of analysis are words, phrases, or themes. Four characteristics of the text content include frequency, direction, intensity, and space (Neuman, 2003)
In order to restore growth to the industry, and the promise of atomic energy, in general, the issues that have befallen nuclear power in recent years will need to be better understood. Nuclear Power and Climate Change There are only five energy generation methods that are capable of providing base load electricity while meeting the greenhouse gas emissions guidelines of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and Generation III nuclear fission is among them (Nicholson, Beigler & Brook, 2011)
There will be points in the proposal where democratic nations and nondemocratic nations need to be separated in discussing nuclear policy, based on this inherent belief that democratic nations set policy in line with public consideration. A final theoretical perspective is that there is an extent to which marketing is a part of the issue for nuclear power (Nivola, 2004)
These views are somewhat conditional, especially when nuclear power is framed as a means of mitigating global climate change. Faced with that argument, the British public was found to be slightly more willing to accept nuclear power, though the authors note that most respondents did not have a sophisticated understanding of the risk-risk analysis on which to base their opinions (Pidgeon, Lorenzoni & Poortinga, 2008)
Politicians and civilians alike are not risk-neutral, but risk-averse. India, as a nuclear power, has sought to manage the safety of nuclear energy by reprocessing to recover plutonium and unused uranium, effectively diverting this waste for other purposes (Raj, Prasad & Bansal, 2006)
Thus, while is alarming that so many different issues have arisen from Fukushima, that disaster also provides science with many more opportunities to learn about the risks associated with nuclear power, something that should improve policy-making going forward. Another emerging issue is the use of photocatalytic processes to degrade and mineralize materials under CV-radiation (Rekab et al
The researcher will explore various issues through qualitative analysis that have characterized the recent decrease of nuclear energy; this is in order to gain insights on sustainability aspects or sustainability considerations that might support a reversal of this trend and contribute to the industry's resurgence. The purpose of this qualitative study will be achieved through exploring what contributes to decreased nuclear energy usage when global warming and climate changes indicate an increased need to use nuclear power (Remo, 2015)
This could mean that people are less willing to accept nuclear power if they can see the cooling towers, which would put the perception of risk towards a more immediate perception. It has also been found that higher levels of citizen participation in determining energy policy will bring about lower levels of resistance, many citizens, in particular, want to understand how a proposed project will benefit their community (Rogers et al
The International Atomic Energy Association has set out basic guidelines for the handling of nuclear waste, but individual nations also have their own regulations (IAEA, 2009). Risk-based regulation is common, but can be challenging to implement with respect to nuclear waste because while overall probabilities are very low, the negative outcomes are very high should they occur (Rothstein et al
Nuclear energy is derived from nuclear reactions, which are used to produce heat that is most commonly used in steam turbines to generate electricity, especially in a nuclear power station. According to Remo (2015), nuclear energy, which is utilized in weapons and for generating electricity, has the probability of both destroying life and saving lives on Earth (p
Consequently, environmentalists, policymakers, and governments have continued to search for a sustainable source of power that will meet global energy needs while resolving climate change. Research demonstrates that nuclear energy has the potential to resolve global climate and meet the current global energy needs (Sailor et al
Today, nuclear energy provides for roughly 10% of the world's energy needs. There are reactors in 31 countries, for a total of 427 reactors as of 2013 (Schneider et al
