“…In addition, accidents at nuclear power plants have been either catastrophic (Chernobyl) or damaging (Three-Mile Island), and although the nuclear industry has improved the safety and performance of reactors, and has proposed new (but generally untested) ''inherently'' safe reactor designs (Piera, 2010;Penner et al, 2008;Adamantiades and Kessides, 2009;Mourogov et al, 2002;Mourogov, 2000), there is no guarantee that the reactors will be designed, built, and operated correctly. For example, Pacific Gas and Electric Company had to redo some modifications it made to its Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant after the original work was done backwards (Energy Net, 2010), and French nuclear regulators recently told the firm Areva to correct a safety design flaw in its latest-generation reactor (Nuclear Power Daily, 2009).…”

“…He vd., (2013) halkın yüksek katılımının, insanların nükleer enerji hakkındaki endişelerini ve aşırı kaygılarını azaltabildiğini ifade etmektedir. Mourogov (2000), nükleer enerji santral işletmecilerinin, halkın güven seviyesini artırmak için yönetim seviyesini iyileştirmeleri gerektiğini, daha çok teknolojik araştırmalar yapmak ve bu bilimsel araştırma sonuçlarını kullanarak nükleer enerji santrallerinin güvenlik seviyesini artırmaları gerektiğini ifade etmiştir.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence university students' acceptance of nuclear power plants with a proposed Structural Equation Model (SEM). For this purpose, a research model was designed with literature search and various hypotheses were developed to test the model relations. A data collection tool was then developed to test the hypotheses put forward. Factors involved in the research model; related to nuclear power plants are "Trust", "Environmental Benefit Perception", "Energy Utility Perception", "Risk Perception" and "Acceptance". In the proposed model, Trust is defined as exegenous, accepted endegenous, and others are defined as endegenous latent variables. In the study, the proposed research model was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and the goodness fit of the proposed model was evaluated according to various fit measures. As a result of the study, it has been determined that trust and energy utility perception related to nuclear power plants are important factors in the acceptance of power plants. Keywords:Nuclear Power Plants ,Risk, Acceptance, Structural Modeling Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Nükleer Santraller Hakkındaki Tutumları: Bir Yapısal Eşitlik Model Önerisi ÖZBu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin nükleer santralleri kabul etmelerine etki eden faktörleri önerilen bir Yapısal Eşitlik Modeliyle (YEM) araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla önce, literatür taraması yardımıyla bir araştırma modeli tasarlanmış ve modeldeki ilişkileri sınamak için çeşitli hipotezler oluşturulmuştur. Daha sonra öne sürülen hipotezleri test edebilmek için veri toplama aracı geliştirilmiştir. Araştırma modelinde yer alan faktörler; nükleer santrallere ilişkin, "Güven", "Çevresel Fayda Algısı", "Enerji Fayda Algısı", "Risk Algısı" ve "Kabul" dür. Önerilen modelde Güven içsel, Kabul dışsal ve diğerleri aracı içsel gizil değişkendenler olarak tanımlanmıştır. Çalışmada, önerilen araştırma modeli Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (YEM) kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve önerilen modelinin uygunluğu çeşitli uyum ölçütlerine göre değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda nükleer enerji santrallerine ilişkin güven ve enerji fayda algısının santrallerin kabul edilmesinde önemli faktörler olduğu belirlenmiştir.

“…Accordingly, it is argued that it should be phased out because it is a dangerous energy technology. Moreover, nuclear energy is not among the clean energy options in the UN discussions on sustainable development (Mourogov, 2000). However, the advancement of renewable energy technologies is emphasized for the success of sustainable energy production worldwide (Elliott, 2000).…”

This study aims to examine the impacts of energy consumption and economic growth on the human development index of seven emerging countries (E-7) with high economic performance for yearly observations from 1992 to 2021. The analyses were carried out with second-generation panel data analyses: (i) Panel cointegration test with structural breaks proposed by Westerlund (2006), (ii) augmented mean group estimator recommended by Eberhardt and Bond (2009), and (iii) Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) panel causality test. The empirical model also included trade openness and urbanization parameters as control variables. The panel cointegration test outcomes reveal the presence of a long-run relation among the human development index and energy consumption, economic growth, urbanization, and trade openness for all countries. Augmented mean group test outcomes signify that energy consumption, economic growth, and trade openness have positive and statistically significant impacts on the human development index, whereas urbanization does not have any statistically significant impact in the long-run. Finally, panel causality test results signify that there is a bidirectional relation between the human development index and energy consumption, economic growth, and trade openness and also a unidirectional relation from urbanization to the human development index in E-7 countries. All these findings indicate that the main macroeconomic indicators have an important role on the human development index in E-7 countries. In this context, these countries should implement a more effective and innovative economic policy for Sustainable development goals.
