Abstract
⺠Three studies investigate the acceptability of nuclear power in response to 'framing' used by government in 2007 UK consultation. ⺠Acceptability of nuclear power was compared against four energy sources in an 'electricity calculator' task. ⺠Study 1 showed an apparent increase in the endorsement of nuclear following climate change 'framing'. ⺠Studies 2 and 3 contradict this finding, suggesting that 'framing' had a limited direct effect on preferences for nuclear power.
