The diploma thesis was elaborated on the topic of public awareness on issues related to the nuclear waste repository. The issue of nuclear waste management is currently being updated and increasingly discussed. Especially in connection with the search for a new site for the construction of a deep repository of nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel. The aim of the thesis was to determine the level of knowledge of the population in the field of nuclear waste, its management, knowledge of the current nuclear waste repositories and the intended deep repository of nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel and, last but not least, of ionizing radiation. The other task was to compare the level of knowledge of the inhabitants living in one of the sites of the intended underground repository (the Čihadlo site) and the inhabitants living outside this site. The following hypotheses have been established: "The level of knowledge on issues related to the repository for nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel will be statistically significantly higher for residents living in the Čihadlo site than for those living outside that site" and "Knowledge on issues related to the nuclear waste repository and of spent nuclear fuel will reach at least 70% in both groups." A questionnaire survey was conducted to achieve the objectives set and verify the hypotheses. The results were evaluated using descriptive and mathematical statistics. The questionnaire consisted of 20 questions and 100 respondents from each site. The hypothesis has been confirmed that the level of knowledge of the inhabitants living in the Čihadlo site is statistically significantly higher. Knowledge on issues related to the repository for nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel reached at least 70% for all respondents only on some issues. In the diploma thesis, there was a picture of the level of knowledge of the inhabitants about nuclear waste, its handling and storage of nuclear waste. The results obtained could be used as one of the bases in the site selection process for building a deep repository.
