The biggest challenges to successful nuclear waste management are societal. Although technologies for nuclear waste management have significantly advanced, there is a large gap between the scientific community’s achievements and the public’s perception toward nuclear waste. This chapter describes how public perception or attitude is formed through human cognitive processes under the influence of society and culture. Challenges to risk communication efforts are also discussed highlighting the differences among the stakeholders of nuclear waste management.
