Abstract
The choice of geological disposal of high level radioactive waste is based on science. So, public understanding of science (PUS) becomes important issue in public acceptance (PA). Considering PUS, there are two problems. One is the literacy to understand scientific information and the other is the paradigm of the public on which the knowledge formed in the public depends heavily. In this research, survey of awareness and attitude to geological disposal on the postgraduate students was conducted. They have been studying civil & rock engineering, so they belong to ‘the group' that acquires high education, culture and faculty. The results of questionnaires show that the awareness of danger is affected strongly by given information even in this group, but they become thoughtful and prudent in their opinion & decision-making as increasing information.
