Application of AHP to the Selection of Exportable Nuclear Technologies

AHP를 이용한 수출유망 원자력 기술 분야 선정

The purpose of this paper is an application of AHP in the problem of exportable nuclear technology selection based on data gathered from nuclear experts. In this paper, the decision criteria for evaluating export competitiveness of nuclear technologies are identified and the hierarchical structure of decision making process is developed systematically. Subsequently the values of weights for relative importance among decision criteria are derived using AHP methodology, and the score of importance of nuclear technologies with respect to each criterion is evaluated. Finally the score indicating exportability of each nuclear technology is quantified in order to prioritize then. We discuss implications of our results with a viewpoint of national nuclear technology policy.
