This study demonstrates that a decision-making process utilising "the veil of ignorance" concept, defined in process terms as beginning from a blank slate encompassing the entire country as potential sites and shortlisting candidate sites based on scientific (geological) safety, promotes public acceptance of siting a repository for the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste and fosters procedural fairness.

This study examines the effects of public acceptance of the policy of waste disposal and procedure applying the veil of ignorance on public acceptance of the repository of high-level radioactive waste in Switzerland. Results show that evaluation of the policy promoted the public acceptance directly and moderated the effects of factors of fairness. And the study suggested that procedure applying the veil of ignorance is an important approach that improves the psychological process of people's perception of fairness and increases public acceptance of the repository.
