Abstract
The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for policy making by understanding preparation plans and awareness of nuclear accidents and radiation terrorism among police officers in the vicinity of nuclear power plants. 221 police officers working in Busan metropolitan city were surveyed and their perception of disaster response was analyzed by organizational structure, command ability, and opinion management. As a result, there was no significant difference in disaster response perception by gender and command class (p>.05). There was statistically significant difference in the ability of command in age and ability according to work experience. As a result of the correlation analysis, there were statistically significant correlations among the three items of organizational structure perception, command ability, and opinion management (+0.5) (p<.01). Overall, it was positive for the police system, and it was well aware of the police work in case of radiation accidents and terrorist attacks. The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for policy making by understanding the coping and awareness of nuclear accidents and radiation terrorism among police officers in the vicinity of nuclear power plants.
