Abstract

The fuzzy decision analysis technique is used for priority determination of the best location for a dual purpose nuclear power plant on the west coast of the Arabian Peninsula. From among several suggested locations, only four were chosen for further evaluation since they met specific minimal criteria and international standards. Two of the four sites are located on the northern part of the Red Sea Coast and the other two on the southern part. Twenty criteria were used in the analysis. The analysis ranked the fourth site in first place followed by the third one.
