*Tetsuo Sawada1 (1. Tokyo Tech.)

Keywords:Final disposal site problem, Junior high school students, Promotion of understanding, Decision making, Adocacy

Approximately twenty junior high school students gathered in the metropolitan area from seven areas nationwide (nuclear power prefectures 4, metropolitan area, Chukyo, Keihanshin) and exchanged opinions on the final disposal site problem in a dialogue manner. As a result, it became clear that junior high school students well understand this problem and fully reflect their opinions and set them at the entrance of decision making. The future task is to deepen the similar dialogue more extensively and lead to advocacy.
