Evaluating the results of National Nuclear R&D projects has critical importance in nuclear management aspect. This paper uses multi-attribute utility theory as a basis for obtaining a value Index to assess the results of nuclear R&D projects and applies the theory to a specific Korean case study. To structure and quantify basic values for the . evaluation, we elicited important attributes, then refined and structured them into a hierarchy. A multi-attribute index is constructed as a multi-attribute utility function, based on value judgments provided by a group of technical experts, policy makers, and decision-makers. The implications of the results are also discussed. We found that the work and results can provide valuable insights for assessment of nuclear R&D consequences.
