It mainly discusses the application of virtual reality technology to the conical roof lifting for the AP1000 nuclear power plant. By choosing the sketch-up and AutoCAD soft-wares, this paper established the 3d models of the conical roof and the 2600T Lampson crane in the manner of parameter. Based on virtual construction theory, these 3 d models were used to implement the simulation tests for the whole lifting progress in virtual environment so as to obtain optimized construction scheme and to train crane operator. And also the optimum running track for the crane is provided by the analysis, and the most economical enlargement plan for the 2600T Lampson crane landing pad is also provided.

Due to the increase in energy demand, many countries suffer from energy poverty because of insufficient and expensive energy supply. Plans to use alternative power like nuclear power for electricity generation are being revived among developing countries. Decisions for installation of power plants need to be based on careful assessment of future energy supply and demand, economic and financial implications and requirements for technology transfer. Since the problem involves many vague parameters, a fuzzy model should be an appropriate approach for dealing with this problem. This study develops a Fuzzy Multi-Objective Linear Programming (FMOLP) model for solving the nuclear power plant installation problem in fuzzy environment. FMOLP approach is recommended for cases where the objective functions are imprecise and can only be stated within a certain threshold level. The proposed model attempts to minimize total duration time, total cost and maximize the total crash time of the installation project. By using FMOLP, the weighted additive technique can also be applied in order to transform the model into Fuzzy Multiple Weighted-Objective Linear Programming (FMWOLP) to control the objective values such that all decision makers target on each criterion can be met. The optimum solution with the achievement level for both of the models (FMOLP and FMWOLP) are compared with each other. FMWOLP results in better performance as the overall degree of satisfaction depends on the weight given to the objective functions. A numerical example demonstrates the feasibility of applying the proposed models to nuclear power plant installation problem.
