Application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process to Quantitative Evaluation of Nuclear Reactors Decommissioning

Quantitative evaluation of nuclear reactors decommissioning are difficult because the identification of appropriate quantification methodologies and evaluation procedures is still ongoing. We developed an evaluation framework consisting of 20 indicators derived from the 6 criteria, which could holistically and structurally evaluate nuclear reactors decommissioning. We chose a real decommissioning project in China as a case study. The results demonstrated that the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was capable of nuclear reactors decommissioning evaluation.
