英文摘要	Although various studies have investigated public acceptance of nuclear power development, they have failed to discuss the effectiveness of different communication tools adopted by local governments and companies to gain public support, let alone whether their effectiveness varies from person to person according to his or her knowledge level. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of different communication tools (i.e., scientific education, station visiting, community building, and national strategy advertising) adopted in the nuclear deployment practice in China and to investigate their interactions with people's knowledge level in the formation of public acceptance. Based on a sample of 322 valid questionnaires in Haiyan County, Zhejiang Province, we found that emphasizing nuclear development as national strategy is the most powerful instrument for enhancing acceptance of nuclear power by residents with both high and low knowledge levels, but it is more effective for those who have less knowledge. A communication tool of scientific education is more useful to residents with more knowledge, whereas trust-building tools function well for those with less knowledge. The results imply that policy makers should design various tools targeted at different groups of residents based on their knowledge level and decision-making process. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
