From 62% to 75% (in different years) are positive about the Beloyarsk NPP. From 72% to 88% believe that nuclear energy should be developed or at least maintain at the current level.

The results of sociological studies have once again confirmed the well-known pattern: the longer operates a nuclear power plant in the territory and the closer people live to it - the more positively they perceive nuclear power. Because the nuclear power plant creates a positive reputation in the community itself by a safe and reliable operation. And the inhabitants of the surrounding territory were convinced by themselves in this by visiting a nuclear power plant with excursions, during which they receive objective and reliable information about the Beloyarsk NPP.

Sociological research was conducted by the scientific and technical center "Perspective" among residents of Sverdlovsk region in terms of their attitude to nuclear energy in the region. The sample was (in different years) from 600 to 1,000.

The Beloyarsk nuclear power plant was entered into work in April, 1964. It was the first nuclear power plant in big nuclear power of the country and the only one with reactors of different types on one platform. The first power units of the Beloyarsk nuclear power plant were with reactors on thermal neutrons AMB-100 and AMB-200 and were stopped in connection with resource development. There is the only one power unit in the world with reactor on fast neutrons of an industrial power level BN-600 in work. There is a power unit with reactor on fast neutrons BN-800 being constructed. Power units on fast neutrons are urged to expand significantly fuel base of nuclear power and to minimize radioactive waste at the expense of organization of closed nuclear and fuel cycle.
