Improvement of FBR multi-sided comparison system

In this study, the general assessment system developed last year was improved so that we could perform multi-sided comparison and evaluation between FBR cycle reactor models quantitatively and objectively. At first, we developed multi-sided evaluation system written in VBA. And then many processes (calculation of coefficients for utility functions, analysis by MUF, and pair comparison, etc.) could be performed on a Personal Computer with simple operation. And the following fuctions were also added in the system; consideration of uncertainty in design data on evaluated results, estimation of the potential of FBR, the absolute evaluation method to get over the weakness of AHP, and so on. Moreover, a concept of comparison with compact reactors and the way of including a new evaluation item, public acceptance, in the evaluation structure are discussed. Although it is important to consider public acceptance for introduction of FBR, it was not included in the assessment structure of the previous study. In this study, we pointed out that public acceptance as a new assessment item of the FBR cycles evaluation system should be included. Ideas to include the item in the system in phase 2 were also discussed. Due to the improvement of the system in this study, we believe that the FBR cycle's evaluation system is becoming more sophisticated than the previous version.
