abstract = "The use of nuclear energy in the world represents one of the main
alternatives to fossil fuels. Significant greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel
combustion could be replaced by cleaner energy such as nuclear. In this paper, by
using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), available databases and Analytic
hierarchy process (AHP), the results in the selection of the location for the
construction of nuclear power plants (NPP) in Serbia were obtained. The research
area includes zones between large rivers (Danube, Sava, Tisa, Velika Morava) with
an area of 8757.45 km². An analysis of natural (seismicity, geological background,
hypsometry, slope of the terrain, distance from faults, ground cover, land use
method) and anthropogenic conditions (distance from the state border, settlements,
roads and railways) was carried out, with the elimination of protected areas from
further research due to of its ecological significance. After multi-criteria analysis,
weighting coefficients were assigned for each criterion using the AHP method. The
results showed that 0.02% of the area is suitable, and 8.68% partially suitable for the
construction of nuclear power plants. This paper provides an adequate overview of
the most suitable locations for the use of nuclear energy, so that the obtained results
can be applied in further research by national services in charge of nuclear sciences.",
