Keeping in mind that Serbia does not have a nuclear power plant and that there are justified reasons to introduce nuclear energy,it is necessary to examine citizens' level of information and preparedness for such disasters, i.e. the possibility of coping with aspecific nuclear accident. Also, several nuclear power plants are in operation near Serbia, so caution and sufficient knowledgeshould be kept in mind and prevention measures would be implemented in this type of disaster. The research subject is the studyof risk perception and preparedness for potential nuclear accidents. The research was conducted on the territory of Belgrade usingmulti-stage random sampling with 256 respondents. The research results indicate a severe need to inform and educate citizensabout risk management in disasters caused by nuclear accidents in Serbia, bearing in mind that the results showed thatpreparedness is not at a significant level. Based on the research results, preconditions are created to create appropriate strategies,programs, and campaigns that would greatly help improve the awareness and knowledge of citizens about the correct and safeway to react in such situations.
