Special attention is given to the perception of the Chernobyl accident and the reliability of the information about the accident.The results show no significant differences in risk perception of nuclear waste and nuclear installations as compared to chemical analogues.The context of occurrence of radioactivity seems to play an important role, medical applications and naturally occurring radioactivity being characterized by lower risk perception than nuclear installations or waste.
