Abstract

Construction of nuclear desalination plants requires the assessment of several siting criteria taking into consideration technical and environmental aspects. This paper identifies criteria for siting small/medium nuclear-powered desalination plants. A selection ranking matrix was formulated where the proposed siting areas were assigned scores pertinent to each weighed selection criterion. The proposed areas were then statistically evaluated based on their weighed scores using Wilcoxon signed-rank method for a conceptual case study in Egypt (as a typical developing country) to identify priority areas for implementing small/medium nuclear-powered desalination plants.
