Kontic B., 2013, Strategic Environmental Consideration of Nuclear Power Through Comparative Evaluation of Energy Options, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 34, 13-18.
The key topic of the paper is comparative evaluation of various energy options. It is treated from the strategic planning and assessment points of view and is supported by a discussion of multi-objective decision making. Environmental considerations are foremost. A basis for the comparative evaluation is condensed information from 296 selected worldwide studies of the sustainability of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and other technologies as presented in IPCC report from 2011. Conclusion is that nuclear power looks better than other options when evaluating broader environmental context of the technologies. Social and economic aspects were not considered due to lack of information in the studies. The comparative evaluation was supported by an expert system named DEX–Decision Expert.
