ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS FOR THE SELECTION OF THE OPTIMUM SPENT FUEL INTERIM STORAGE TYPE AND ITS OPTIMUM LOCATION IN EGYPT

Abstract

The Egyptian nuclear program needed a study for the factors that would lead to the success of the program. Therefore, the decision of building an optimum type of interim storage for the nuclear waste was a crucial decision to be taken in the thesis through studying the factors that could affect the decision. In addition, the choice of the optimum location of the optimum type of the interim storage was studied in the thesis for its importance to the Egyptian nuclear program success. The choices were determined using analytic hierarchy process.
