Multicriteria decision analysis with influence diagram / decision tree models

A case study has been performed to determine how multiple attributes as risk and cost criteria can be used for comparing severe accident management strategies for nuclear power plants. A mixed influence diagram/decision tree modelling technique has been used to model the strategies, combining the benefits of both separate techniques. It is concluded that multiple attributes like individual risk, group risk and strategy implementation costs can be addressed. A full-scope multicriteria decision analysis has been performed. (orig.)
