In recent years, there have been a lot of rumors about the technical risk. Based on two cases about the risk of nuclear technology rumors, the paper analyzes the process of interpreting the signals where risk rumors are released, and interpretation of the public based on the technical characteristics of the subjective feelings of risk. Due to the existence of public perception bias, false rumors become so appalling “fact”, resulting in the fact that technical risks are constructed and amplified artificially. The paper draws the following conclusions: the social amplification of technical risk makes the public have a perception of “true faith”, becoming a catalyzer for irrational behavior in rumors, adding to the difficulty in eliminating technical risk rumors, and prompting the attention towards the metaphor behind the rumors of technical risks.
