Abstract In order to make a comprehensive evaluation of many influencing factors on the site selection of nuclear power plants, and to make a quantitative judgment on the rank of candidate sites, a method of site selection based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy evaluation is proposed. Firstly, based on the characteristics of design and research institute, the factors influencing the site selection of nuclear power plants are analyzed. The indicator of criterion layer and index layer influencing the site selection of nuclear power plant are determined based on specialty, and the decision-making system of site selection scheme is established. Secondly, based on AHP operation rules, the weights of system indicator are calculated. Thirdly, by determining the evaluation set, the evaluation matrix based on fuzzy theory was established, and the evaluation level of candidate sites was determined based on the principle of maximum membership degree. Finally, a practical nuclear power plant site selection project is used for theoretical verification. The candidate sites of nuclear power plants are ranked by the first and second level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. The results show that the quantitative ranking of site based on AHP and fuzzy evaluation is consistent with the previous qualitative ranking of the project. The site selection method based on AHP -fuzzy evaluation is efficient.
