In society, understanding of risk is various. We will show how to understand risk and describe how to face risks in the society. Individual risks are accepted by individuals, but it is necessary for society to construct a structure in society that allows risks to be tolerated by society. For that purpose, we also describe what social risk is and how society and individuals face social risks and how to choose risks to accept. We consider not only the concept of nuclear risk but also how nuclear risk should be accepted from the viewpoint of disaster prevention for the public.
