With the introduction of third generation of nuclear power AP1000, Westinghouse uses the mobile device (a mobile wastewater treatment device 6 units shared) radioactive waste system design concepts. This design not only simplifies the process of nuclear island waste system; saves equipment layout space; improves equipment utilization; while increases the use of new technologies lifetime of the plant and the possibility of flexibility. This paper introduces the first AP1000 unit (Sanmen, Zhejiang Province) by using the advanced mobile device technology and application of wastewater treatment under the condition of the primary coolant source level. At the same time, the paper also discusses the periodic system inspection and the strategy of maintenance. In addition, the paper further expands the application direction of the mobile waste processing aspects, such as: decommissioning of nuclear facilities; enhancing the facility decommissioning radioactive liquid waste purification capability. Another example: After the Fukushima accident, people pay more attention to accident-mitigation-design and hope to accelerate the development of emergency radioactive liquid waste processing devices. Thus, in addition to strengthening the nuclear power plant inherent defense in depth and resistance emergency capability, mobile waste treatment device or combination device special regional settings can be made to improve and enhance the ability to get more diversified emergency response.

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.
