Resumo
Nuclear energy has been used as a source of clean energy with many benefits. Nevertheless, it is still
addressed with prejudice. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II (1945), the
Three Mile Island accident (1979), Chernobyl accident (1986), the crash of the cesium-137 in Goiânia,
Brazil (1987), and the accident in Fukushima (2011) may have been responsible for the negative image of
nuclear energy. Researches on education have been conducted with students concerning the conceptual and
practical issues of nuclear energy. This work aims to review the literature about nuclear energy education
around the world in both, elementary school and high school. Since most educational researches on nuclear
energy were published after 1980, this literature review covered the researches that have been published
since 1980. The data were presented in chronological order. The results from the literature review provided
a clear visualization of the global nuclear energy educational scenario, showing that the theme is still
addressed with prejudice due to an incorrect view of nuclear energy and a limited view of its benefits.
Concerning the science textbooks, the literature reports that the theme should be better addressed,
encouraging students to research more about it. The data from this literature review will serve as a reference
for a future proposal for a teaching training program for Brazilian science/physics high school teachers
using a new teaching approach.
