Sociology of Serbia's Nuclear Renaissance: Society, Institutions, Governance. Part 1. A Comprehensive Analysis of Sociobehavioral Models and Society's Reactions to the Development of Nuclear Energy in the Republic of Serbia

Part 1 (In-Depth Diagnostics) «Comprehensive Analysis of Socio-Behavioral Models and Society's Reactions to the Development of Nuclear Energy in the Republic of Serbia»  investigates the complex reaction of Serbian society to the lifting of the moratorium, revealing the mechanisms of radiophobia formation, the protest syndrome of local communities, and proving that without proper engagement with the population the project is doomed to social rejection.
Key theses: 
●    Public opposition to nuclear initiatives is based not on a simple lack of technical information, but on deep stigmatization of technologies and the mechanisms of social amplification of risks (SARF), capable of inflating local information triggers to the scale of a national crisis.
●    Overcoming the classic NIMBY (“not in my backyard”) syndrome in potential sites for building a nuclear power plant is impossible without legally enshrined mechanisms of economic inclusion, whereby local communities become the main financial beneficiaries of the project.
●    A radical rejection of dry technocratic rhetoric is required. Dialogue with society should be built through the prism of the “ethics of care” (to overcome the doubts of the female portion of the population) and the implementation of programs “Science, Technology, Society” (STS), in order to transform the existential “nuclear anxiety” of the youth into professional motivation.
