The CO

compensation is resulting from the use of nuclear energy as the
substitution of the non renewable energy. It is proved to be the measuring
parameter for the benefit of the nuclear energy to the global warming
degradation. As measuring parameter for the resilience index change it is used
the total nuclear power measured by the MWdays within the time interval.
3.6.2.2.5. Change of the Public Acceptance
The change of public acceptance is result of the public learning system
and public information guidance. At the beginning of the nuclear power
introduction of the world energy system it was developed very high
expectation for the reliable energy source. Unfortunately, due to the
unexpected hazard accident on Three Mile Island power plant and Chernobyl
power plant the public acceptance has severely changed. In this respect it has
become desirable to introduce the resilience index as the additional indicator
for the assessment of the safety of the nuclear power plant.
