The ECOSENS project has developed Deliverable D1.1 titled “Public attitudes towards small modular reactors: An emerging research field and evidence from six countries.” This comprehensive report presents findings from 2023–2024 on how citizens in Belgium, Czech Republic, Spain, Slovenia, Slovakia, and the UK perceive Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
Key highlights include insights into public awareness, perceived risks and benefits, and support for SMRs as part of future energy mixes. The research combines surveys, focus groups, and expert interviews, marking a significant contribution to understanding societal dynamics around emerging nuclear technologies. The report is available on the ECOSENS website.
