Abstract: Nuclear power is safe, clean and efficient. While social magnification of the risk of nuclear projects occurs due to the specialty and lack of knowledge about nuclear energy by public. The phenomenon of “stigmatization” is aggravated by the “not in my back yard”.After analysis of basic data of nuclear safety and radiation protection and comparison of risks between nuclear energy with others, suggestions are given, such as to expand the field and improve the forms of nuclear science popularization education at various levels, to establish a long-term nuclear science popularization education mechanism, to adjust the benefit distribution of nuclear projects reasonably and strengthen the capacity building of information dissemination platform.

Key words: nuclear related projects, stigmatization, nuclear safety, public participation
