Selection of a tool to decision making for site selection for high level waste

Abstract

Abstract. The aim of this paper is to create a panel comparing some of the key decision-making support tools used in situations with the characteristics of the problem of selecting suitable areas for constructing a final deep geologic repository. The tools addressed in this work are also well known and with easy implementation. The decision-making process in matters of this kind is, in general, complex due to its multicriteria nature and the conflicting opinions of various stakeholders. Thus, a comprehensive study was performed with the literature in this subject, specifically in documents of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), regarding the importance of the criteria involved in the decision-making process. Therefore, we highlighted six judgment attributes for selecting a decision support tool, suitable for the problem. For this study, we have selected the following multicriteria tools: AHP, Delphi, Brainstorm, Nominal Group Technique and AHP-Delphi. Finally, the AHP-Delphi method has demonstrated to be more appropriate for managing the inherent multiple attributes to the problem proposed.

Implement of zoning in order to evaluate the establishment of the airports using integrating MCDM methods and noise pollution modeling softwares

“…Screening factors may include topography, natural or man-made barriers, airspace, accessibility, environmental impacts, and development costs. Also, one of the best references that plans for noise pollutions caused by airplanes in locating new airports is the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) part 150 (Sound Adaptation Program) (48). After introducing the airport locating criteria by the Delphi method, the criteria weights were determined by the ANP method and Super Decisions software version 2.10.…”

Application Analysis on Past Cases of Radioactive Waste Disposal Site Selection based on Geo-electric and Electromagnetic Surveys

“…그러므로, 심층처분장 부지의 암반 선택에서 고려해야 할 요인으로 암반의 투수성을 고려한 지하수의 주 유동경로와 같은 방 사성 핵종의 이동(migration) 경로, 자기밀봉(self-sealing), 지질 구조와 암반의 무결성과 같은 암반 안정성 등이 있다 (Wang et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2018). 이때, 심층처분이 가능한 암반은 투수계수가 작아 암반을 통해 흐르는 지하 수의 유속이 낮고, 유량이 적어야 하는데 이는 암반에서의 방사성 핵종 수송이 암반 내 지하수 흐름으로 결정되기 때 문이다 (Richter, 1978;Blacic, 1981;Madeira et al, 2016). 결정질 암반에서 지하수 이동은 암반의 작은 부분을 차지 하는 균열 및 파쇄 구역에서 발생하기 때문에, 심층처분장 의 방사성 핵종 수송을 정량적으로 설명하기 위해서는 파 쇄대의 위치를 파악하는 것이 필수적이다.…”
