Abstract

The aim of the current research is to study the effectiveness of a proposed program to develop enlightenment of the dangers of nuclear waste and methods of safe disposal for workers in the production sector at the Nuclear Materials Authority, and in order to achieve this, many references, books, research and previous studies related to the subject of the research and access to their tools were consulted and used. Research.
The researchers adopted the experimental approach, the quasi-experimental design and the use of one experimental group, and the researchers designed a program consisting of six sessions at one session per week, which took two months to implement the program in the pre and post application of the environmental enlightenment scale. For the performance aspect of some practical skills in the work environment, the aim was to determine the effectiveness of a proposed program to develop awareness of the dangers of nuclear waste and methods of safe disposal for workers in the production sector at the Nuclear Materials Authority and to ensure the validity and reliability of the tools for the research group, which reached (30) trainees, The research ended with a number of results, the most important of which are: -
·      There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group members in pre-measurement and post-measurement of environmental knowledge in favor of post-measurement.
·      There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group members in pre-measurement and post-measurement of environmental trends in favor of post-measurement
·      There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group members in the pre-measurement and post-measurement of environmental skills in favor of the post-measurement.
The research recommended that the training program be included in the group of programs provided to the employees of the Nuclear Materials Authority, especially the new workers, and the establishment of a database and information containing books and documented references on environmental enlightenment and the skills of safe handling with nuclear waste that enable workers to refer to it and benefit from its scientific content.
