This paper addresses the New Alamein City and its proximity to El Dabaa nuclear power plant. It is mainly concerned with the 32 km radius of low population zone around the plant. It questions the erection of the new city and its future extension and their proximity to El Dabaa plant because nuclear safety regulations require the presence of a low p...

... d LPZ is a radial distance to the low population Zone (LPZ), d PCD is a radial centre distance (PCD) to the nearest boundary of a densely populated centre, d 20 is a 20-mile outward radial distance (population density of < 500 persons per square mile or 32 km outward radial distance (population density of < 194 persons per square kilometre [13]. Fig. 3 shows a different zoning where the zones are divided into two zones, the first includes 3, 5 and 10 km while zone 2 extends to 30 km [14]. Fig. 4 shows the wind direction and its effect on the emergency measures that can be taken in zones and directions [14]. ...

... Nuclear safety regulations require a low population zone (100-194 people/square kilometer) around a nuclear power plant. International and national regulatory standards have been revised for this purpose [76]. In terms of the SA2 criteria, East Kalimantan and West Kalimantan met the eligibility requirements for the establishment of a nuclear power plant, respectively having a population of 29.90 people/km 2 and 37 people/km 2 , but the population density figure is not sufficient to be a standard measure in determining the location of an NPP, because SA2 factor is also highly correlated with other demographics such as age distribution, gender, ethnicity or place of residence [77]. ...
In terms of planning aspect, nuclear power plant (NPP) development needs analyses, consideration, and right decision making due to multi criteria involved. This study prioritizes the best site development of Indonesian NPPs in terms of 21 social, economic, and technical perspectives which comprise transmission network, operating cost, economic impact, geology, geotechnic, seismology, population density, environment, cooling water, meteorology, hydrology, proximity to hazardous facilities, topography, land use, proximity to wetland, evacuation route, security, transportation network, legal consideration, impact of tourism, land ownership, historical places, and public acceptance, all identified to be considerations for the best sites. Two Fuzzy algorithms (Chang's Extent Analysis and Buckley's Fuzzy AHP) were used to determine the criteria priorities as well as NPP site feasibility of two locations in Indonesia. The results found that geology, geotechnic, and seismology (SA1); security (SO1), population density (SA2), environment (SA3), and cooling water (SA4) had the highest priorities among the 21 criteria. Based on the 5 top priority criteria, West Kalimantan and East Kalimantan provinces serve as the best candidates for the NPP sites. Such an innovative and novel multi criteria Fuzzy AHP – based decision making (MCDM) approach has been proven to become a useful reference to select NPP sites in Indonesia.
