Ranking the sites for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste disposal facilities in Croatia

This paper describes the procedure of identification and ranking of the potential sites for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste disposal facilities in Croatia. It presents preliminary results of the final phase of the site survey stage, i.e. preliminary comparison and ranking of potential sites. The potential sites were chosen on the basis of exclusionary (rejection) criteria, and the preliminary ranking of the sites was performed on the basis of comparative preference criteria by the multicriteria analysis approach PROMETHEE. The list of exclusionary and comparative criteria is given, and the weighting factors of comparative criteria are presented.
