Abstract
Examined the effects of a TV documentary about the safety of the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in the Northwest of England on public attitudes. In a study of 805 respondents (average age 47.8 yrs) to questionnaires from 4 districts in the Southwest of England, the attitudes and beliefs of these Ss were assessed both before and after the documentary about Sellafield. Results indicate a significant attitude change in a more antinuclear direction.
