Abstract
One of the primary causes of Nigeria's underdevelopment is a lack of electricity to power the country's industries. Rather than relying solely on fossil fuels to generate electricity in Nigeria, a variety of other sources, such as nuclear energy, must be considered. A Nuclear Power Plant's (NPP) location is a critical step in its development. This paper thus presents a methodology for resolving the issue of NPP site selection. For this project, the fuzzy Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) method was chosen. To assess the feasibility of the approach, one of Nigeria's six south-south states was chosen as the location of a hypothetical nuclear power plant. According to the findings, the NPP would be best located in Delta State, which had the highest gray relational grade of 0.7897.
