| Research Abstract |
We analyzed the factors influencing perception of radiation risk such as radiation accident and exposure to radon in dwelling on the basis of self-administered questionnaire consisting of 37 questions distributed to 1, 650 children(pupils and students) and their parents in 5 regions of Ukraine. The study demonstrated a significant difference in the level of risk perception between males and females, among regions, and between children and parents. The results of the present study is expected to be helpful in understanding the background of the radiation risk perception observed in general population after the accident at Fukushima dai-ichi nuclear power plant.
