The issue of acceptance of site selection for geological disposal facilities for high-level radioactive waste is still an important research topic despite the existing various studies. This study focused on differences in the site selection procedure, and aimed to determine the factors influencing acceptance in terms of procedural fairness and interregional fairness. The results of a web-based hypothetical scenario experiment showed that the acceptance of geological disposal policy influences site acceptance regardless of the site selection procedure. Meanwhile, the procedural fairness of the site selection influences site acceptance in the public invitation/offer procedure, whereas the procedural fairness of the site selection, interregional equity, and expectation of national consensus influence site acceptance in the screening procedure.
