A multi-attribute analysis of nuclear waste disposal alternatives

The objective of this report is to provide a systematic methodology for the analysis of waste disposal alternatives. The Analytic Hierarchic Process (AHP) is used to analyze various alternatives for the disposal of Low-level waste (LLW). AHP helps in breaking down complex problems into simpler ones which can then be more readily analyzed. A model is developed to aid the computation of the alternative selection process and also to enable "what-if" type of analysis.
