“…The site selection for inland NPPs is a complex issue that requires the comprehensive and careful analysis of numerous criteria. Many researches established indicator frameworks related to the NPP site selection from three dimensions: biological, physical, and socio-economic [24,[30][31][32]. Some studies mainly took the environmental compatibility, technical feasibility, security, and economic rationality into account for assessing site sustainability [5,7].…”

To promote the development of nuclear power project in inland China, a specialized multi-criteria decision support framework is constructed for the site selection of inland nuclear power plants in this work. The best worst method (BWM), decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), and technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) are integrated with Z-numbers, namely Z-BWM, Z-DEMATEL, and Z-TOPSIS. Z-BWM and Z-DEMATEL are combined to produce the weights of criteria, and an extended Z-TOPSIS is utilized to determine the ranking of all alternatives. Finally, a case study is performed in Hunan province to demonstrate the practicability of the proposed decision support framework. The robustness and feasibility of the proposed method are shown by an in-depth analysis of the decision results.that are not prone to tsunamis or typhoons. China has a total of 48 nuclear power units in operation, but they are all in coastal areas. The specific research on the site selection of China's inland NPPs is still insufficient. In this work, a multi-criteria decision support framework is provided to identify the best site for inland NPPs in China, and the contributions are summarized as follows:(1) The existing researches on multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems inevitably involve the uncertainly and unreliability of human preferences. Therefore, Z-number is introduced into the proposed MCDM framework in this work, and all evaluation information is given using Z-number linguistic variables.(2) Best worst method (BWM) and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) are extended to Z-numbers, i.e., Z-BWM and Z-DEMATEL. The hybrid model not only considers the impact of the criterion relations on the criterion weights, but also provides a long-term improvement for inland NPP site selection.(3) The technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is combined with Z-numbers, namely Z-TOPSIS. It can effectively reduce the influence of outliers, and provide more reliable ranking results than the classic TOPSIS.(4) Currently, few researches focus on the site selection of China's inland NPPs. Based on the reactor siting criteria developed by IAEA, a specialized evaluation system considering the eco-environment, geographic features, and socio-economic factors in China's interior is constructed.The structure of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 reviews some studies related to NPP site selection. Section 3 introduces some basic concepts of Z-numbers. Section 4 presents the proposed framework for inland NPP site selection. Section 5 provides a case study in Hunan province of China. Section 6 conducts an in-depth analysis concerning selection results. Finally, Section 7 draws conclusions.

Application of fuzzy DEMATEL technique to assess most common critical operational faults of marine boilers Gemi kazanlarının en yaygın kritik operasyonel arızalarının bulanık DEMATEL tekniğiyle değerlendirilme uygulamasıYazar(lar) (Author(s)): Veysi BAŞHAN 1 , Hakan DEMİREL 2 ORCID 1 : 0000-0002-1070-1754 ORCID 2 : 0000-0002-7579-7064 Bu makaleye şu şekilde atıfta bulunabilirsiniz(To cite to this article): Başhan V. and Demirel H. "application of fuzzy Dematel technique to assess most common critical operational faults of marine boilers", Politeknik Dergisi, *(*): *, (*). ABSTRACTWhether it is steam powered or has an internal combustion engine as the main engine of propulsion, a ship without a boiler is unimaginable; somehow a boiler, which is indispensable on ships is needed. Boiler, one of the most important ship auxiliary engines, is used for several purposes that consist of heating of fuel tanks, machinery equipment and accommodation. Many problems can arise in boilers which are designed to work with main engine exhaust gas so that the waste heat can be used in order to match expectations of energy efficiency requirements. When ship systems are analyzed, it is understood that many systems are related to each other. If there is a problem with the boiler many systems will be affected and many problems will be encountered. Therefore, this study provides a fuzzy DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) method to assess most common critical operational faults in marine boilers. The DEMATEL method gives chances to identify and analyses the important faults of marine boiler with respect to cause effect relationship diagram. Likewise, fuzzy sets get through with the uncertainty in decision making and experts comments on DEMATEL. When the results are examined, it is understood that "boiler takes excessive time to reach pressure" is important in terms of the reasons. When the effects are examined, it is seen that the most important effect is "leakage from pipes or valves". The acquired results of the research will contribute to ship boilers operational safety and prevention of dangerous machinery effects. Keywords: Marine boiler, fuzzy DEMATEL, faults, safety.

“…Importing population density and seismic geological conditions into GIS, Yaar et al removed restricted areas and a nuclear power plant allowed area of 569 square kilometers is presented. Shahi et al presented the indicator values in the GIS and overlaid the layers according to certain weights, which are calculated by fuzzy decision‐making and trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. And a conclusion was drawn that “access to shoreline” was the most important for nuclear power site selection.…”

Site selection is a critical strategic decision for inland nuclear power plants which have broad prospects of development. However, several shortcomings exist in current researches, such as the incomplete decision frameworks, the indiscriminately treated properties, and the information loss. To handle the above flaws, this study establishes a two‐stage site selection framework. In the first stage, the geographic information system and preselection criteria are applied to identify suitable alternative sites. And in the second stage, the interval type‐2 fuzzy PROMETHEE II and suitability criteria are utilized to rank alternatives and select the optimal site, where different preference functions are selected accordingly. Thereinto, the interval type‐2 fuzzy numbers are adopted to describe the uncertainty and vagueness in calculation, without being transformed to exact value. Finally, based on the proposed two‐stage decision framework, a case of Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi provinces is studied, to demonstrate its validity and practicability. The results show that S8 is selected as the optimal site for its strong government support, convenient fuel transport, and land availability. This study not only enriches the material databases for inland nuclear power plant site selection, but also offers theoretical reference for site selection studies of various objects.
