核与辐射事故公众心理效应及应对策略

Enviro-psychological effects and countermeasures of nuclear and radiation accidents

  • 摘要: 总结日本福岛核事故,有两点警示:一是自然灾难与技术故障可能加重灾难的严重性;另一个关键问题是事故发生后,如果缺乏与公众的有效沟通,容易导致公众的不信任和恐慌。在核与辐射事故发生时,现有的辐射应急预案都是针对专业人员在辐射应急工作方面的准备,很少考虑到对公众进行辐射相关知识的科普和培训,包括中国在内的许多国家,都缺乏对公众进行辐射防护方面的预防性教育。这样容易导致在出现核与辐射事故时,公众往往被媒体不一定完全客观的报道而误导,进而产生负面心理影响。基于上述教训,进行必要的公众沟通和媒体交流显得尤为重要。

     

    Abstract: The Fukushima incident is a reminder of several crucial lessons. On the one hand, the impacts of the radiation/nuclear incident were amplified as the combination of a natural disaster with technological failure. On the other hand, the lack of effective and objective communication will lead to public anxiety and mistrust. All radiation emergency response plans are prepared for professional staff only instead of being allotted for the educating and training the public. Numberous nations, including China, face the lack of preventive education and training of radiation protection to the public. Therefore, the public are easily dominated by biased media reports and experience negative psychological impact. Based on these lessons, providing appropriate education and training for the public and the media is particularly important.
