Based on the fact that studies on the use of radiations have not been largely conducted reflected on the importance of the use of radiations, the survey was performed to investigate the attitude on the use of radiations for some university students who have a high level of knowledges among average persons in order to extract certain directions for the education program to provide right information. The survey was performed for 517 university students from Oct. 10 to Oct. 15, 2005. The results of this survey can be summarized as follows. 1. Students who have experienced in the radiation related education presented statical differences in the results according to the majoring and monthly incomes. 2. Regarding the survey on the attitude of the use of radiations, the item of 'I agree to build a general hospital or university hospital where I lives in' was presented as the highest points of $3.73{\pm}1.004$, and the lowest point was recorded in the item of 'I agree to build an atomic wastes treatment facility where I live in' as the point of $2.63{\pm}1.091$. 3. The level of attitudes on 'I agree to build an atomic power plant or atomic wastes treatment facility where I live in' presented lower levels than that of the attitude on 'I agree to build an atomic power plant or atomic wastes treatment facility in my country'. 4. The lowest level recorded in the level of attitudes on 'I agree to build an atomic wastes treatment facility where I live in 'presented a significant difference according to the sex and grade.

This study attempts to extract certain directions for the education program to provide right information by investigating knowledges, consciousnesses, and attitudes of some university students. They have a high level of knowledges among average persons on the use of radiations in order to recognize the radiation safety in daily lives including the change in national recognitions for radiations safety that is consistent with the situation in these days. The survey was performed for 528 university students from Oct. 10 to Oct. 15, 2005. The results of this survey can be summarized as follows; students who didn't get educations for the use of radiations were recorded as 415 students (80.7%) in which the reason that they didn't get such educations was there were no chances to receive the education' as 265 students (77.9%). The basic knowledge on the use of radiations was presented as a low level of $5.96{\pm}2.90$ points based on the sum of 15 points, and the consciousness on the use of radiations was investigated as $3.65{\pm}0.50$ points based on the sum of 5 points. In addition, the attitude on the use of radiations was investigated as $3.23{\pm}0.46$ points based on the sum of 5 points.
