Surveying undergraduate Greek student's knowledge on some issues of radiations and Nuclear Energy

Abstract: In this work we present some results from a survey aimed to assess the knowledge and views of the Greek undergraduate students (technology oriented) on some issues of radiations, nuclear energy and their consequences. Findings indicate that the, examined group, of Greek students have a series of misconceptions and faulty views on radiations and general nuclear issues. No significant differences in the students responses related to the type of secondary school they attended were found. Moreover, analysis according to gender, indicated that females are less informed than males in most of the examined issues
